Washington Nationals at Los Angeles Dodgers 4/11/21 - MLB Picks & Predictions

Dodger Stadium will play host to a Sunday afternoon MLB clash between the Washington Nationals and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Last night, Washington SP Patrick Corbin (0-1) surrendered six runs in four plus innings during a 9-5 road loss against Los Angeles. OF Juan Soto homered twice in a losing effort for the Nationals, who fell to 1-4 on the year.

Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer (0-0 6.00 ERA) will head to the hill for the Nationals in this contest. In his first start, Scherzer struck out nine batters and surrendered four runs during a 6-5 home victory versus Atlanta.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have won seven of their first nine games and look like a team that can win back-to-back World Series Championships. On Saturday, Justin Turner doubled twice and Max Muncy scored a pair of runs to spark the Los Angeles offense. SP Julio Urias allowed three runs over five plus frames to improve to 2-0 for the Dodgers.

The Dodgers will give the nod to three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw (1-1 4.26 ERA) on Sunday. Through 12 plus innings, Kershaw has struck out ten batters and posted a 1.18 WHIP.
