Dodgers starter Walker Buehler (6-1) allowed three runs in six innings, retiring 15 of the last 17 batters he faced. He yielded six hits and struck out three.
Probable Pitcher:
Julio Urias (3-3, 2.63 ERA) will take the mound in the 3rd game of the series for the Dodgers.

He had 2 starts against the Nats last season and allowed 4 runs across 11.2 innings.
Washington Nationals

Josiah Gray gave up seven runs in three innings, and is tied with Cincinnati's Hunter Greene for the NL lead in homers allowed with 12.
Probable Pitcher:
Erick Fedde (2-3, 4.08 ERA) will start for the Nats in the 3rd game of the series. Fedde allowed two runs on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings Friday, striking out four and taking a loss against Milwaukee.
BETTING TRENDS
LA Dodgers are 9-0 SU in their last 9 games against Washington.
LA Dodgers are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games on the road.
Washington are 2-14 SU in their last 16 games at home.
Washington are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games when playing at home against LA Dodgers.
Prediction
The Nationals were outscored again by the Dodgers on Tuesday so they have now lost 9 straight games against them and they now have to face Julio Urias who held them to only 1 run in his last start against them. There's nothing that indicates the the Nationals can pull out the upset. Take the Dodgers for the sweep.
PICK: Dodgers -1.5 (-130)
