Dodgers at Nationals picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Nationals 4

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Dodgers (-190), who have won the 1st 2 games of the series.

Run line/Against the spread

BET NATIONALS +1.5 (-110).

The Nationals took 2 of 3 from the Dodgers on the road from April 15-17 and are 3-3 in their last 6 games overall. With Gore on the mound, Washington should be able to keep this game within reach. It has scored 5 or more runs in 2 of its last 4 games and allowed 4 or fewer in 3 of its last 4.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (+100).

Both Yamamoto and Gore have shown great control this season and combine for 57 strikeouts and just 11 walks. Los Angeles has scored 4 or fewer runs in 6 of its last 9 games, while the Nationals have scored 3 or fewer in 5 of their last 7.

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).

Los Angeles Dodgers at Washington Nationals odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Washington Nationals odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (52-31) and Washington Nationals (40-41) play the finale of a four-game set Sunday at Nationals Park. First pitch is scheduled for 11:05 a.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Dodgers vs. Nationals odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Garrett Cleavinger is the projected starting pitcher for the Dodgers. He is 2-3 with 7 runs (3 earned) allowed on 13 hits and 8 walks with 14 strikeouts through 12 1/3 innings of relief work spanning 14 appearances. He makes his first career start Sunday.

Dodgers at Nationals odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 10:05 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Dodgers -140 (bet $140 to win $100) | Nationals +115 (bet $100 to win $115)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Dodgers -1.5 (+115) | Nationals +1.5 (-140)
  • Over/Under: 9 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Nationals 7, Dodgers 5

Money line (ML)

The NATIONALS (+115) are a good play at home in the series finale, as they look to avoid the broom in this four-game set.

Washington will not have to face Dodgers RHP Trevor Bauer due to an off-field situation, so Los Angeles is forced into a bullpen game instead. That works to the benefit of the home side.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The NATIONALS +1.5 (-140) are worth playing if you’re not quite feeling them on the money line and would like a little insurance. The Dodgers have won eight games in a row, so it obviously won’t be easy for the Nats.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 9 (-115) is the slight lean for the finale, even though the Under cashed in two of the first three in the series.

Los Angeles has averaged 7.0 runs per game through the first three in this series, and Washington should be able to come alive with the bats against a cadre of relievers thrust into action for L.A., Sunday.
