Nationals Park will play host to a Thursday afternoon MLB clash between the Colorado Rockies and the Washington Nationals. Be ready for the baseball season with all of our MLB predictions. The Rockies (16-58) are riding a four-game winning streak and still own the worst overall record in the majors. Last night, SP German Marquez (3-8) fired five plus shutout frames to lead Colorado to a 3-1 road victory against Washington. 

Rookie right-hander Chase Dollander (2-7 6.57 ERA) will make his 12th career major league start for the Rockies. Control has been an issue for Dollander, who has walked 25 batters and surrendered 13 long balls across 50 plus frames.

The Washington Nationals are looking to snap an 11-game losing streak and have plummeted into a tie with Miami for last place in the NL East Division. During Wednesday’s home loss, Washington scored their only run on a James Wood RBI double. SP Mitchell Parker (4-8) allowed one run across six solid frames and took the loss for the Nationals (30-44), who fell to 15-24 at home.  

Washington skipper Dave Martinez will give the nod to veteran right-hander Trevor Williams (3-8 5.71 ERA) on Thursday. The Nationals have dropped Williams’ previous three starts and he has allowed nine runs over his last 14 innings. 

Washington IF Paul DeJong (orbital) started a rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday. Through 74 games, Colorado ranks 26th in OPS and 27th in runs scored. For the season, Washington ranks 21st in OPS and 18th in runs scored. Take the Rockies to win on the road. Final Score Prediction, Colorado Rockies win 6-4.
