On Wednesday Night Baseball this week, ESPN will feature the Washington Nationals visiting the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Nationals lost the series opener on Monday, 4-1, behind the brilliant pitching of Clayton Kershaw, but are still in first place in the National League East, with a 43-28 record. The Dodgers (39-33) are in second place in the National League West, 5 ½ games behind the San Francisco Giants, but they are on a four-game winning streak after Monday’s victory.

MLB Odds Report on Washington Nationals vs LA Dodgers & TV Info

When: Wednesday, June 22, 2016, 10:10pm Where: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles TV: ESPN Radio: Los Angeles / Washington Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB Odds: TBA PItching Matchup: Joe Ross (6-4, 3.13 ERA) (WAS) vs Julio Urias (0-2, 4.50 ERA) (LA)

Why should you bet on Washington?

Joe Ross is one of the more intriguing young pitchers in the National League. None of the current Dodgers have ever gotten a hit off him (and only four of them have ever faced him). He pitched well in his last start, holding the San Diego Padres to three runs in six innings, fanning six men. The Nationals have lost three in a row, but Ross was the one on the hill when they had their last win. Ryan Zimmerman and Daniel Murphy have been hitting well, and if they can get to Julio Urias, they have a good shot at this.

Why should you put your money on the Dodgers?

The Dodgers are making a run in the West right now, and it’s not just Clayton Kershaw. Justin Turner is hitting .467 in his last eight games, and when the air is hot in Los Angeles, the ball tends to fly a little farther — and it’s in the 90s there this week. Corey Seager had three extra base hits last week to go along with Turner’s three RBIs in the Dodgers’ win on Monday. If that offense keeps cooking, Urias might get all the run support he needs.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

Since Julio Urias is likely to be on a pitch count on Wednesday, the Nats are going to get to the Dodger bullpen well before the ninth even if Urias pitches well. I like Washington to take advantage with their offense and win, 5-3.
