Preview
The Arizona Diamondbacks and the Washington Nationals will play the fourth game of the series at the Nationals Park on Wednesday night. The Nationas have the lead 2-1 in the series.
Arizona Diamondbacks
The Dbacks get here with a 4-8 record and have lost 3 of their last 5 games. They finally showed some offense in the last game and scored 11 runs. Ketel leads with .212 avg, Seth Beer has 5 RBI and Christian Walker has 2 home runs.
Tyler Gilbert allowed only one run in the second game of the doubleheader, striking out 3 in 5.2 innings but the Dbacks lost the game.
Probable Pitcher:
Zach Davies (0-1, 5.79 ERA) will be on the mound for the Dbacks in the 3rd game of the series. Davies took the loss Friday against the Mets, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits in 4.1 innings of work, striking out two while walking one.
Washington Nationals
The Nationals get here with a 6-7 record after winning the first 2 games of the series. The team is averaging 3.92 runs per game but allowing 4.69 runs. Josh Bell has a batting average of .340, 2 home runs and 11 RBI. Juan Soto leads the team in home runs with 3.
Right-hander Josiah Gray (2-1) went 5 1/3 innings for Washington, allowing just one run and three hits with eight strikeouts against Arizona's struggling lineup.
Probable Pitcher:
Josh Rogers (1-0, 3.72 ERA) will start for the Nats in the 3rd game of the series. Fedde collected the win Friday in a 7-2 victory over the Pirates, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out six. In his 2 starts against the Dbacks last season he allowed only 1 run in 12 innings and struck out 13.
BETTING TRENDS
Arizona are 3-8 SU in their last 11 games.
Arizona are 3-6 SU in their last 9 games against Washington.
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Washington's last 9 games against Arizona.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Washington's last 5 games at home.
Prediction
The Dbacks offense finally woke up in the 2nd game of the series. The Nationals couldn't score in the last game but they will be facing Zach Davies who allowed 5 runs in his last game. With 2 struggling pitchers we should see runs early in the game so I'm playing the over on this one.
PICK: Over 8.5 (-110)
