Nationals vs Tigers Prediction

Flaherty has had a rough season, and that includes allowing 22 hits and 19 runs in his last 25 innings. I’m not excited to get behind him in this spot. However, the Nationals haven’t won two straight games since May 30-31. Also, Williams has been a disaster this season with his 5.65 ERA and 1.47 WHIP, and he’s allowed 15 earned runs in his last 24.1 innings. In 44.1 home innings, Williams has a 5.89 ERA and a .292 allowed batting average. The Tigers have the better pitcher on the mound despite his struggles, and they’re the better team overall. I’ll side with the Tigers.
