Preview
The Washington Nationals and the Cincinnati Reds will play the 4th game of the series at the Great American Ball Park on Sunday. The Nats stayed hot offensively and beat the Reds again 10-8 on Saturday to take the lead 2-1 on the series.
Washington Nationals
The Nationals get here with a 20-35 record and have lost 4 of their last 6 games. The team is averaging 4.1 runs per game but allowing 5.2 runs. Josh Bell has a batting average of .309, 5 home runs and 29 RBI. Juan Soto leads the team in home runs with 12.
Josiah Gray leads the team with a 5.08 ERA, 54 strikeouts and 5 wins recorded for the Nationals.
Probable Pitcher:
Patrick Corbin (1-8, 6.96 ERA) will start for the Nats in the 4th game of the series. Corbin took the loss Tuesday, allowing seven runs on 12 hits and two walks over 4.1 innings as the Nationals were routed 10-0 by the Mets. He struck out six.
Cincinnati Reds
The Reds get here with a 18-34 record and have lost 4 of their last 6 games. The team is averaging 4.23 runs while allowing 5.4 runs per game. Brandon Dury leads the team with 26 RBI and 8 home runs. Kyle Farmer is batting for .263 avg.
Tyler Mahle leads the pitching staff with a 5.53 ERA, 58 strikeouts and 2 wins recorded for the Reds.
Probable Pitcher:
Luis Castillo (2-2, 3.38 ERA) will start for the Reds in the 4th game of the series. Castillo earned the win after he pitched six scoreless innings Tuesday, surrendering one hit and three walks while striking out 10 versus the Red Sox.
BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone OVER in 10 of Washington's last 14 games.
Washington are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Cincinnati's last 6 games against Washington.
The total has gone OVER in 15 of Cincinnati's last 19 games at home.
Prediction
The Nats offense exploded again scoring 10 runs in the game but also allowed 8. They'll have to face Luis Castillo who's been improving and allowed 2 runs in his last start against them. The Nats will send Patrick Corbin who has been pounded all season. However I'm not stepping in fron of the Nats at this moment as they're on fire at the plate. Expect another high scoring game on this one.
PICK: Over 9 (-110)
