- Analysis
- The Padres are coming into this game with a 32-25 record this season, but they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost 5 of their last 6 games and they are coming off of a 9-4 loss on the road in their last game. Their offense has struggled in these as they have one of the worst offenses in the league, scoring 3 runs or less in 4 of their last 6 games, and their pitching has not been good recently either with 14 runs total allowed in their last 2 games. They are going up against a Nationals team that is 30-29 this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games, but they bounced back with a 9-4 win in their last game and they have won 5 of their last 7 games as well. Their pitching has been much better in these with 3 runs or less allowed in 5 of their last 7 games and their offense has been great all season, scoring 5+ runs in each of their last 2 as well as 4 of their last 5 games. Griffin Canning is starting for the Padres in this game and he is 0-3 with a 7.54 ERA this season. He has been awful in his recent starts as he has allowed at least 6 earned runs in 2 of his last 4 starts and has allowed at least 3 earned runs in all 4 of those. His only road start this year was also his worst start of the season by far, allowing 6 earned runs in less than 2 innings against the Brewers. He is 1-0 in 4 career starts against the Nationals, but he also has a 4.03 ERA in those and this is a much improved Nationals lineup from previous years. Zack Littell is starting for the Nationals in this game and he is 4-4 with a 5.23 ERA this season. He did not have a good start to the season, but he has been pitching much better in his recent starts. He has allowed 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 5 starts and he has allowed 1 earned run or less in 3 of those. He has also been much better at home as he has allowed 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 3 as well as 4 of his last 6 starts. The Nationals are starting to pitch much better now, even with their bullpen, and they have the much better offense to lean on in this game. The Nationals will win this game at home.
