Diamondbacks vs Nationals Prediction

The Diamondbacks are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, and nobody believes in the Nationals. However, as I said yesterday, people keep doubting the Nats, but they keep winning and cashing tickets. The Nationals also have 21 road wins this season. Soroka has been solid, but Cavalli has held his own with a 3.62 ERA and 1.42 WHIP through 64.2 innings, along with 74 strikeouts. I’m going to keep taking a shot with the Nationals and the more favorable price, as they’ve been one of the bigger surprises up to this point.
