Washington Nationals Stats & Team News

The Washington Nationals (51-50) have hit form under Anirudh Kilambi in recent weeks, and that was reflected in their dominant showing against the Colorado Rockies earlier this week.

James Wood, Curtis Mead, and Andres Chaparro all scored runs in the success, while Andrew Alvarez recorded two shutouts. It has been an excellent response by the Nationals since losing three straight games before the All-Star Break, as they have since won three of their last four.

Colorado Rockies Stats & Team News

The Colorado Rockies (40-62) are looking destined to conclude the season with a losing overall record. Their stats already see them sit fifth in the NL West, and they are struggling to rank among the Wildcard contenders.

It appears as though they have been stuck in a rut since the beginning of July, losing seven of their last nine, which includes a second straight loss earlier this week against the Nationals. They are giving up too many runs at this stage of the season, having allowed 20 since the All-Star Break. Kyle Freeland allowed seven hits earlier this week against the Nationals, despite registering four shutouts.

Head-to-Head Record

The Rockies hold the overall edge based on head-to-head encounters with a 91-86 record. However, they have won 51.1% of their home games against the Nationals. Colorado have also won four of the previous six head-to-heads.

Washington Nationals vs. Colorado Rockies Picks

The Rockies look like a team void of confidence at this point. Therefore, we foresee the Nationals continuing their progress in the MLB with another victory on the road this Wednesday.
