Predicted Outcome
San Diego’s superior starting pitching—Nick Pivetta has been strong and their bullpen solid—combined with a dominant head‑to‑head record suggests they’ll control the game’s tempo. The Nationals have struggled recently, particularly on offense, and Washington’s pitching matchup in MacKenzie Gore hasn’t inspired confidence. Expect a low-scoring win for the Padres, perhaps 5–2 or 6–3, offering value on the run line or under.
