Dodgers at Nationals picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 7, Nationals 3
Money line
The Dodgers are once again rolling. They won the first 2 games of the series and 9 of their last 10 contests.
However, the Nationals have won at least 1 game of each of their last 7 series.
Urias, outside of his 1st start of the year, has been fantastic on the road with just 4 total earned runs allowed in his last 22 innings pitched away from Dodger Stadium.
I like the Dodgers’ chances anytime Urias is on the mound, but with this line, it’s a little too pricy. PASS unless you include this bet in a parlay bet.

Run line/Against the spread
Each of the Dodgers’ last 6 wins has been by at least 2 runs. They are 26-16 ATS overall this season.
The Nationals are a league-worst 16-28 ATS this season so far and their last 10 losses have been by more than 1 run.
Take the DODGERS -1.5 (-125).
Over/Under
The Nationals’ last 3 games and 6 of their last 10 have had at least 9 runs.
Only 2 of Urias’ 8 starts have had more than 8 total runs but 7 of the last 10 games for the Dodgers have had 9 or more runs.
Take OVER 8.5 (-120).
