Nationals at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Nationals 3

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Dodgers (-255) to beat the Nationals (+210).

Run line/Against the spread

BET DODGERS -1.5 (-135).

Three of the Nationals’ last 5 losses have come by 2 or more runs while the team has scored 3 or fewer runs in 6 of its last 10 games. With Corbin taking the mound for Washington, the Dodgers have the perfect opportunity to get back on track and get their offense going. Each of LA’s last 4 wins has come by 2 or more runs.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (+100).

Corbin has been rocked in his last 2 outings for Washington giving up 11 total runs. The Dodgers have scored 4 or more runs in 7 of their last 10 games and have hit the Over in 3 of their last 4. Washington has had hot bats recently scoring 6 runs in each of their last 2 games and 4 or more runs in 4 of their last 7.

Best bets: 2024 Washington Nationals World Series odds, win total and more

Analyzing the 2024 Washington Nationals World Series odds, futures and projected win total with expert MLB picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Washington Nationals finished last in the NL East for the 4th straight year in 2023. They did improve their win total from 55 in 2022 to 71 in 2023. The young Washington team started to gel after the All-Star break of 2023, finishing 1 game under .500 (35-36).

The exodus of marquee players has been well documented since the Nationals won the World Series in 2019. The departures of P Max Scherzer, SS Trea Turner, 3B Anthony Rendon, and OF Juan Soto have all brought in a new crop of young talented players like RHP Josiah Gray, LHP MacKenzie Gore, LHP DJ Herz, C Keibert Ruiz and SS CJ Abrams.

What’s new in 2024?

Washington was quiet during the off-season as their plans are focused on the long term. They did make a few free agent moves to fill holes on their active roster. The Nationals welcomed big thumper 1B/OF Joey Gallo, a veteran arm RHP Dylan Floro and former top prospect looking for a 2nd chance 3B/OF Nick Senzel.

There are minimal expectations in 2024 for this team. Let’s analyze the Washington Nationals’ World Series odds, along with their projected win total, playoff, division and AL odds as we make our expert MLB picks and predictions.

Washington Nationals World Series odds

Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Friday, March 24 at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Odds: +25000 (bet $100 to win $2,5000)

The Nationals are tied with the White Sox for the 3rd longest odds to win it all. While this team is improving, I don’t see a postseason run in the cards for them this season, but maybe in the next 2-3 years.

PASS.

Washington Nationals playoff odds

Will they make the playoffs: Yes +17000 | No -10000

The Nationals have an uphill to climb to make the playoffs being in the same division as the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies, who are both World Series favorites. They would have to hope for a Wild Card spot, but those will also be tough to come by with teams like the San Diego Padres, New York Mets, Chicago Cubs and Arizona Diamondbacks fighting for positions in the postseason.

PASS.

Washington Nationals win total

Over/Under: 66.5 (O: -105 | U: -115)

This number is completely attainable by this squad. The Nationals bring back almost all of their core from last season that won 71 games, and they made a few pick ups to help fill in the gaps. We will also see a few top prospects make an impact this season like SP Cade Cavali (returning from Tommy John), OF Dylan Crews (#2 overall pick in 2023 MLB Draft), and OF James Wood (key piece in Soto trade). This is a bet you should jump on now before the line moves or the odds adjust.

BET OVER 66.5 (-105).

To win NL East Division

  • Atlanta Braves -280 (bet $280 to win $100)
  • Philadelphia Phillies +280 (bet $100 to win $280)
  • New York Mets +1300 (bet $100 to win $1300)
  • Miami Marlins +3500 (bet $100 to win $3,500)
  • Washington Nationals +12000 (bet $100 to win $12,000)

The Atlanta Braves are the class of this division with the Phillies nipping at their heels. The Mets are the Mets and the Marlins surprised everyone by winning 84 games last season. I know it’s always tempting to take a longshot bet with those odds, but there is just too much for the Nationals to overcome for them to win this division. The only way they make the playoffs is via the Wild Card.

PASS.

To win National League

Odds: +12000 (bet $100 to win $12000)

There’s a reason why this team has the 2nd-longest odds to win the NL pennant. There is no real marquee name in the lineup or rotation to scare the opponent, just a lot of potential. The organization is still couple of years away from really competing.

Washington is taking a similar route that their neighbors in Baltimore did, building through the farm system and a few key free agents. The Orioles have arrived, but the Nationals still need more maturing. There’s no way you can make this bet unless you really just want to gamble.

PASS.

Add Michael Lorenzen’s glorious no-hitter to the list of embarrassment for the Washington Nationals

Michael Lorenzen’s no-hitter was an incredible moment for baseball. It was more of the same for the Washington Nationals.

This is the online version of our daily newsletter, The Morning Win. Subscribe to get irreverent and incisive sports stories, delivered to your mailbox every morning. Here’s Mike Sykes.

There isn’t supposed to be any shame in a team getting absolutely torched by a pitcher in a no-hitter.

Typically, that just means the pitcher is that good on that night. There’s not really anything you can do about it. So, on that note, shoutout to Michael Lorenzen.

His no-hitter against the Nationals was an incredible moment for both him and his family. It’s only the 14th no-hitter in the history of the Philadelphia Phillies and, well, there’s a lot of history behind that team. It’s the first one for the team in nearly a decade since Cole Hamels tossed one back in 2015.

With the niceties out of the way, I can say what I really want to say now. Why do the Washington Nationals have to keep embarrassing me like this?

The better question is probably “Sykes, you’re a Nationals fan? Why on Earth would you do that to yourself?!?” That’s a valid response. I try to keep my Nats fandom on the hush because, well, *gestures at the dumpster fire*. But, yes, I am a Nationals fan.

This is my hometown team. And, while I’m not the biggest baseball nerd around, I feel like I should root for the squad and give my support. It’s a D.C. thing. If you know, you know.

If you don’t know, you’re blessed. Because, whew boy. Talk about being on the wrong side of history. It’s always cool to see those moments in sports where something nice happens for a player you weren’t necessarily rooting for. But when your team is on the other end of it? Man. It’s time to pull out the paper bags.

This is what happens when you completely blow up a championship team within three years after winning a title. You’re cursed now. There’s no turning back.

Now we’re here. The team had a 107-loss season last year. The Nats are the worst team in the NL East again and they’ve had multiple games where you look at the ticker on SportsCenter and say “Wow, I didn’t know football was back … Oh, wait. No. That’s the Nationals score.” In fact, they’re so bad the team also became the owners of a century-old record of not having a sweep in over 90 straight series at one point this season. The team finally got its first sweep since 2021 in late July, but still. The damage was done.

Now, you add Michael Lorenzen’s glorious no-hitter to that list of L’s for the Nats. To be clear, this isn’t on the players. It’s happening because of the organizational teardown that seems to have no end. The team isn’t willing to spend to keep talent and when the talent blossoms the team is just totally willing to let it leave. Just ask Bryce Harper and Juan Soto. It’s bad. Really bad.

That’s where this team is. And it’s probably where they’ll be for the next few years, too.

D.C. sports, man. You got to love it.

Quick Hits: Paul George says it’s ‘bully’ season … The White Sox can’t take criticism … and more 

. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports

— Paul George told his Twitch audience that he’s in “bully” mode for next season. He’s got to play games for that to work out, though. Prince Grimes has more.

— The White Sox denied leaving Kenyan Middleton’s name off the scoreboard after he critiqued the team’s culture, but do we really believe them? Charles Curtis has more.

— Mary Clarke ranked the NHL’s logos from best to worst and you need to read this today — especially you, Red Wings fans.

— Myles Jack was going to go to trade school before the Eagles called, and that’s a pretty cool thing. Cory Woodruff has more.

Fair or Foul: Should the Nationals have chartered Juan Soto a flight to the All Star Game?

Much ado about airfare

Juan Soto and the Washington Nationals are heading towards an inevitably ugly breakup.

The 23-year-old wunderkind slugger reportedly rejected the team’s 15-year, $440 million extension offer and it sure looks like the Nats are getting ready to trade him.

This comes after the team parted ways with star talents like Bryce Harper, Anthony Rendon, Max Scherzer and Trea Turner in recent years, but that’s not the issue here.

No, the latest sub-controversy bubbling up in Soto World comes down to airfare. Specifically, the Nationals’ decision to not charter a flight from Washington D.C. to Los Angeles to get their lone All-Star—and eventual Home Run Derby champ—to Southern California for the festivities.

So, should the Nats have ponied up for a private plane? Let’s take a quick spin around the FTW office and argue the merits at play here.

The Rockies’ scoreboard operator put up a prescient message about heartbreak before a blowout loss

It’s surprisingly good advice for both life and baseball

The Colorado Rockies had a pretty solid chance to pick up a home win on Tuesday with the Washington Nationals in town.

Despite facing a lineup led by Juan Soto, the Rockies were coming off a sweep of Cincinnati and facing Washington starter Erick Fedde and his 4.68 ERA. Yet even with Colorado a home favorite at Tipico (-145), some around Coors Field seemed to know an eventual 10-2 loss was on the horizon.

Specifically, the Rockies’ scoreboard operator, who served up a very prescient message shortly before first pitch that tried to provide some perspective on life, love and, well, baseball, too.

Ooof.

I mean, as far as life lessons go, this is certainly a worthy one to keep in mind. As far as baseball goes, it’s probably a sign to just enjoy being at Coors Field on a weeknight. Which was definitely the way to go since the Nats scored three runs in the third inning, another in the fourth and three more in the fifth. Also, Juan Soto did this:

Baseball, man, it’ll break your heart. At least the Nationals were cool about it.
