The Washington Nationals and Pittsburgh Pirates face off on Thursday in an MLB showdown at PNC Park.
Washington Nationals
The Washington Nationals have gotten out to a slow start to the season and coming into this game they sit with a 2-4 record overall. Overall this offseason hasn’t been great but two games ago against the Atlanta Braves the offense scored 11 runs on the way to the victory.
On Wednesday, the pitching staff wasn’t great giving up 16 runs, and that led to another bad defeat. Maikel Franco has been the top player for the Nationals hitting a home run and driving in six RBI’s. Josh Bell has hit two home runs and driven in five RBI’s.
On the mound for the Nationals will be Joan Adon and in his last start against the New York Mets he went 4.1 innings giving up four hits and four runs.
Pittsburgh Pirates
On the other side of this matchup is the Pittsburgh Pirates who sit with a 1-3 record and in the three losses the offense has been a big issue. In the three losses the Pirates have scored three runs total. In the one win against the St. Louis Cardinals the offense scored nine runs total.
Michael Chavis has been the top player for the Pirates this year scoring a home run and driving in four RBI’s. Yoshi Tsutsugo is the only other player that has driven in two runs.
On the mound for the Pirates will be JT Brubaker and he had some major issues during his first start of the season. Against the Cardinals, Brubaker went only three innings and he gave up four hits and four runs.

Washington Nationals vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Prediction:
The trends point towards the under, and that will be the case again in this game. Both starting pitchers weren’t great in the first game but both of these offenses are awful and I expect that will continue in this game. Look for both offenses to struggle and the under is going to cash with ease.
