Seattle Mariners at Washington Nationals 7/13/22 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Wednesday MLB schedule will get underway with an interleague clash between the Seattle Mariners and the Washington Nationals. The Mariners (45-42) have reeled off eight straight victories and have moved into second place in the AL West Division. On Sunday, 1B Carlos Santana homered twice and drove in three runs to power Seattle to a 6-5 home victory versus Toronto.

Seattle manager Scott Servais has yet to name a starting pitcher for this game. The Mariners have plenty of options on a staff that ranks sixth in the majors with a 3.58 team ERA.

The Washington Nationals have dropped 31 of their first 45 home games and own the worst overall record in the National League. On Sunday, Washington went 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position during a 4-3 road loss against Atlanta in 12 innings. Lane Thomas hit a three-run blast for the Nationals, who fell to 30-58 on the season.

The Nationals will give the nod to twenty-nine year old righty Erick Fedde (5-6 5.01 ERA) on Wednesday. Last time out, Fedde was tagged for eight runs and lasted just three innings during a 12-2 road loss against Atlanta.
