Nationals at Orioles 5/30/18 - MLB Picks & Predictions

In what could be considered the battle between a couple of rivals, that have not had the rivalry bloom yet, the Nationals and the Orioles are going to be playing each other. The Nationals have had been playing well enough to go 8 games over the five hundred mark, but still are a half game back from the Braves. The Orioles for their part have been able to find the basement of the AL East and are 20 games under the five hundred mark.

The Nationals are coming into this game with an impressive power show from Bryce Harper. Harper on the year has hit 16 into the stands, but most have been solo shots as he only has 38 RBIs. Harper needs to hit better, though, as his average is at a ,228 mark.

The Orioles will be sending out David Hess. Hess has struck out only 10 batters in his 17.1 innings on the year with a 2-1 record and a 4.15 ERA.

The Nationals are a powerhouse and even with Harper not playing well for average he can definitely send the ball into the stands with a single stroke. The Nationals are also sending out Scherzer to the mound in this game and he has been amazing and dominating on the mound. Look for the Nationals to bring home the win here rather easily. Final Score Prediction, Washington Nationals win and cover the run line 7-3.
