Cincinnati Reds
Friday night got rained out so there’ll be a doubleheader on Saturday, which ought to get in treating for a team as short-staffed as the Reds are.
DeSclafani and Harvey will start and the bullpen will likely be taxed when it’s all said and done. That will make Luis Castillo’s spot on Sunday important.

The good news is that Castillo went a career-high seven innings in his last start. He made an arm slot adjustment and got great results, striking out nine and walking just one. He got ten swings and misses on his changeup as a result of his fastball.
Washington Nationals
The Nats will start Jeremy Hellickson and Gio Gonzalez on Saturday. It’s not as if their bullpen is terribly deep, either, which could set up a high-scoring game on Sunday.
Tanner Roark has gotten back on track in his last two starts. He’s given up one run in his last 15 innings, striking out 18 and walking just one. He’s a horse so he might just be peaking this late into the year.

Washington must not have been happy about the rain-out on Friday after winning three games in a row. Keep an eye on the doubleheader on Saturday to see what kind of momentum the Nats have going into Sunday.

Free Cincinnati Reds vs. Washington Nationals MLB Prediction: Cincinnati.
I’m intrigued by what Castillo did the last time out and how he may build on it in this game. Cincy will be a nice underdog play, as well as the under.
