The Nationals Can Win If…
The Washington Nationals are looking to turn things around after a 3-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies. In that game, Mitchell Parker pitched well, going six innings with eight strikeouts and allowing just one earned run. Brady House led the offense with two hits, while James Wood drove in the only run with a double.
Despite recent losses, the Nationals have strengths that could lead to a win. They rank 9th in doubles this season, showing they can hit for extra bases. Their speed is also a factor, as they rank 6th in stolen bases, which can put pressure on opposing defenses.
The Nationals’ lineup has key players who can make a difference. CJ Abrams and James Wood are among the top hitters, with Wood leading the team in home runs and RBIs. With Trevor Williams on the mound, the Nationals will aim to support him with strong offensive performances to secure a win.

The over/under line is set at 9.5 runs. The combined earned run averages and recent performances suggest a total score close to this line. The model projects a total of 9 runs. Therefore, the recommendation is to pick the under for this game.
Game Snapshot
Washington looks to avoid a winless homestand (0–7) and snap an 11-game losing streak when they host Colorado Thursday afternoon at Nationals Park. After going 1-for-10 with RISP in Wednesday’s 3–1 defeat, rookie Brady House delivered his second straight two-hit game but the club stranded too many runners.
Rockies’ Surge

Rookie righty Chase Dollander (2–7, 6.57 ERA) rebounded with six innings of four-run ball against Atlanta, while Michael Toglia’s two homers and Daniel Schneemann’s three-run shot Tuesday fueled an offense on the rise.
Pitching Matchup
Rockies: RHP Chase Dollander (2–7, 6.57 ERA) rebounds on short rest after two rough outings.
Nationals: RHP Trevor Williams (3–8, 5.71 ERA) has dropped three straight and allowed four runs in his last two home starts.
