Red Sox vs Nationals Prediction
The Boston Red Sox and Washington Nationals face off on Thursday in an MLB showdown at Nationals Park. The two teams have split the first two games of this series.
Nationals Leaned on Good Starting Pitching on Wednesday
The Nationals come into this game with a 54-67 record overall, but they used the good pitching on Wednesday to find success. Mackenzie Gore went 6.1 innings giving up one hit and zero runs. If the Nationals can get the same type of pitching here, they are going to find plenty of success. The Red Sox are averaging 4.82 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.6 runs per game. The offense is ranked 9th in the league while the pitching is ranked 18th. On the mound for the Nationals will be Patrick Corbin who sits with a 7-11 record and an ERA of 4.85. In his last start against the Phillies he went five innings giving up one hit and zero runs.
Red Sox Need the Bats to Wake Up
The Red Sox bats have been a little inconsistent the last week, and they need to get the bats on the right track here. On Wednesday the Red Sox only scored two runs and that led to the defeat. The Red Sox overall are averaging 4.82 runs per game which is 9th best in the league. The pitching on the other hand has been bad giving up 4.6 runs per game which is 18th in the league. On the mound for the Red Sox will be Chris Sale who comes into this game with a 5-2 record and an ERA of 4.52.

Shane’s Free Pick
This is a great spot for the Nationals. Corbin looked good in his last start and the Phillies bats have had some issues heading into this game. The Red Sox are going to score only two or three runs total, and that isn’t going to be enough for them to get the job done. Back the Nationals on the money line to secure the victory.
