Baltimore Orioles at Washington Nationals odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Baltimore Orioles at Washington Nationals odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Baltimore Orioles (23-12) and Washington Nationals (18-17) wrap up a 2-game series Wednesday at Nationals Park. First pitch is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Orioles vs. Nationals odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Nationals lead 1-0

Washington’s 3-0 win Tuesday snapped a 7-game losing streak vs. Baltimore dating back to 2022.

RHP Trevor Williams delivered 5 shutout innings for Washington, which cashed as a (+191) home underdog, and 4 relievers combined for 1-hit ball to seal the win. 1B Joey Meneses, OF Eddie Rosario and 3B Trey Lipscomb all drove in runs for Washington, which has won 3 of its last 4 games.

Orioles RHP Corbin Burnes recorded a 3rd consecutive quality start, but once again was doomed by a lack of run support. Despite the loss, the Orioles enter Wednesday with the best winning percentage (.657) in the American League and Burnes remains the favorite to win the AL Cy Young (+330 at FanDuel Sportsbook).

Orioles at Nationals projected starters

RHP Kyle Bradish vs. LHP Mitchell Parker

Bradish (0-0, 1.93 ERA) makes his 2nd start. He allowed 1 earned run on 4 hits and 2 walks with 5 K’s in 4 2/3 innings in his season debut, a 7-2 home win vs. the New York Yankees Thursday.

  • 2023 stats: 12-7, 2.83 ERA (168 2/3 IP, 53 ER), 1.04 WHIP, 44 BB, 168 K in 30 starts
  • Missed beginning of the year with a UCL sprain in his pitching elbow
  • Features the 2nd-lowest ERA since July 1 of last year

Parker (2-1, 2.53 ERA) makes his 5th start. The rookie has a 1.08 WHIP, 1.7 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 in 21 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 2 BB, 5 K in 6-0 defeat at Texas Rangers Thursday
  • Has yet to allow a HR in 4 career starts
  • His BB/9 is 16th-lowest out of 140 SPs with at least 20 IP

Orioles at Nationals picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 4, Nationals 2

Moneyline

PASS.

This is too much juice to lay with Baltimore (-176) on its own.

Run line/Against the spread

BACK BALTIMORE -1.5 (-110).

Parker has had a nice run as far as keeping the baseball in the park, but now he will be facing an Orioles team that has the highest home-run-to-fly-ball percentage (HR/FB%) vs. LHP (16.7%) in all of baseball.

SS Gunnar Henderson, who enters Wednesday with the 3rd-shortest odds to win AL MVP (+500 at FanDuel Sportsbook), and 1B Ryan Mountcastle, who features a top-10 HR/FB% vs. LHP (33.3%) among 175 qualified hitters, are certainly candidates to go yard.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (-105).

Bradish is in good position for a 2nd straight quality start to begin his season as he faces a Nationals team that generates the most soft contact (20.7%) vs. RHP in the league.

Washington also has the 2nd-lowest infield hit percentage (4.6%) and 3rd-highest infield fly ball percentage (13.3%), so I would not expect much traffic on the basepaths for Bradish or an Orioles pen that features strong options like RHP Yennier Cano, LHP Danny Coulombe and RHP Jacob Webb.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Washington Nationals (69-89) and the Baltimore Orioles (98-59) finish a 2-game series Wednesday at Camden Yards. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Nationals vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Orioles lead 3-0

It was a classic pitcher’s duel Tuesday night in Baltimore. A solo home run by Orioles SS Gunnar Henderson in the 1st inning was the only run scored by either team.

Nationals RHP Josiah Gray threw 6 innings, allowing just 5 H and 2 BB with 7 K. But Orioles’ RHP Kyle Bradish had a better night, throwing 8 shutout innings with just 3 H, 2 BB with 4 K.

Nationals at Orioles projected starters

LHP Patrick Corbin vs. RHP Grayson Rodriguez

Corbin (10-14, 5.13 ERA) makes his 32nd. He has a 1.46 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 6.3 K/9 in 175 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 1/3 IP, 5 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 1 K in 9-6 home loss vs. the Atlanta Braves on Friday
  • 2023 road stats: 6-5, 4.83 ERA (91 1/3 IP, 49 ER) in 16 starts.
  • Career vs. Orioles: 1-4, 4.93 ERA (42 IP, 23 ER) in 7 starts and 1 relief appearance

Rodriguez (6-4, 4.49 ERA) makes his 23rd start. He has a 1.30 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 9.6 K/9 in 116 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: No decision, 5 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 7 K in a 5-2 road loss vs. Cleveland Guardians on Thursday
  • 2023 home stats: 3-2, 4.88 ERA (59 IP, 32 ER) in 11 starts
  • First career start against the Nationals

Nationals at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 6, Nationals 5

Moneyline

There are a lot of reasons to pick the Orioles to sweep the season series against the Nationals, but on the betting side there is no value at picking Baltimore at -250. It is best to PASS and look at the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

Washington has been surprisingly successful against the spread this season. They have covered in 49 of 77 games as a road underdog (63.6%). They also are 48-40 ATS after a loss.

The Orioles, who are among the best teams in baseball, struggle at home as a favorite, covering just 40% of the time (23-34) in Camden Yards.

You don’t often see plus odds when you add runs so I like the value in picking the Nationals to keep it close or possibly win.

BET NATIONALS +1.5 (+100).

Over/Under

After Tuesday’s 1-0 game, Wednesday’s line sits at a lowly 7.5 runs.

Among the things Washington batters do right is avoid striking out. They rank 2nd in strikeouts per game (7.08). But Washington pitchers struggle to get strikeouts and rank 28th in opponent strikeouts (7.53).

After a win, Baltimore is 51-41-5 toward the Over while Washington is 43-41-4 after a loss.

There should be a lot of contact on the ball Wednesday.

LEAN OVER 7.5 (-115).

Washington Nationals at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Washington Nationals at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Washington Nationals (69-88) take a short trip to Maryland to visit the Baltimore Orioles (97-59) to open a 2-game series Tuesday. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is set for 6:35 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Nationals vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Orioles lead 2-0

Washington suffered an 8-5 loss as a +247 home underdog Sunday vs. the Atlanta Braves. The Nationals have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are 4-6 in their last 10. The Nationals, 35-41 on the road this season, are last in the NL East and has already been eliminated from playoff contention.

After a 3-game skid, Baltimore won the last 2 games vs. the Cleveland Guardians to split the 4-game series. The Orioles lead the AL East and have already clinched a playoff berth, but the division title is still up for grabs. Baltimore is 2 1/2 games ahead of the 2nd-place Tampa Bay Rays.

Nationals at Orioles projected starters

RHP Josiah Gray vs. RHP Kyle Bradish

Gray (8-12, 4.00 ERA) makes his 30th start. He has a 1.47 WHIP, 4.6 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 in 153 innings.

  • Last outing: Win, 5 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 4 K in a 13-3 home win Wednesday vs. the Chicago White Sox
  • Career vs. Baltimore: 0-1, 1.80 ERA (5 IP, 1 ER), 4 H, 4 BB, 3 K in 1 start

Bradish (11-7, 3.01 ERA) makes his 29th start. He has a 1.07 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 9.0 K/9 in 158 2/3 innings.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 6 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 2 BB, 9 K in a 2-1 road loss Wednesday vs. the Houston Astros
  • Career vs. Washington: 1-0, 0.00 ERA (6 IP, 0 ER), 5 H, 1 BB, 6 K in 1 start

Nationals at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 4, Nationals 0

Moneyline

PASS.

Baltimore should pick up the win here but as a -250 favorite the line is not worth betting the juice. Bet on the run line and/or O/U instead.

Run line/Against the spread

LEAN ORIOLES -1.5 (-115).

The Orioles have been dominant vs. Washington lately, going 8-2 in the last 10 meetings. The Orioles are 6-4 in the last 10 while the Nationals are 4-6 over that same span. Baltimore is also 45-30 at home on the year while Washington is 14 games under .500 on the road. I expect the Orioles to put the Nationals away early.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8 (-110). 

The Under has hit in the last 9 straight Baltimore-Washington matchups. The Under is also 4-1 in Baltimore’s last 5 overall and 6-3 in its last 10. The Under has hit in each of Bradish’s last 2 starts overall and hit in his only career start vs. Washington.
