The Washington Nationals will travel on the road to face-off against the Arizona Diamondbacks for a brand new series after the All-Star break on Saturday with a scheduled first pitch time of 8:10 PM Eastern. This game will be available locally and on MLB extra innings. The Washington Nationals come into this game with a record on the season of 31–63, and have not played well as of late losing four out of their last five games, three of those coming against Atlanta, the other against Seattle. The only victory was their last game against Atlanta by the score of 7–3.

Arizona comes into this game with a record on the season of 40–52, and have also played terrible as of late losing four out of their last five games, all of those came on the road twice against San Francisco, and twice against San Diego. The only victory for Arizona in their last five games came in their last game against San Diego by the score of 3–1.

Madison Bumgardner will be on the mound for Arizona in this match up with a record on the season of five wins, nine losses, to go along with an earned run average of 3.83 and 69 strikeouts in 96.1 innings pitched. Madison has given up 102 hits, has walked 33 batters, and has given up 13 total home runs on the season.

Annabelle Sanchez will take the mound for the Washington nationals in this match up with a record on the season in mainly relief appearances of zero wins, with one loss, and a dismal ERA of 7.20 with only five strikeouts on the season.

It is sink or swim for Anibal Sanchez in this match up with one of the highest earned run average in baseball. Without Stephen Strasburg Washington will definitely have pitching problems as they have a team earned run average of 5.13 which is why we see Arizona coming away with a victory at home in this matchup. Final Score Prediction: Arizona wins by the score of 6–3.
