My Prediction
Los Angeles Dodgers by 2Let's dive right into this upcoming baseball rumble between the Washington Nationals and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Our stage is the Dodger Stadium, a place where batters’ dreams tend to come true slightly more often than they do in an average ballpark. A little birdie told me that.
Let's start by talking about the guys on the mound. The Nationals are sending in Mike Soroka, who's had a middling season with an ERA of 5.14 and 1.14 WHIP, but a strong 9.3 K/9 from his 9 total appearances. On the other side, the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani is having a whopping start to this season, albeit from only one appearance, with an astronomical 9.00 ERA and a 2.00 WHIP. His strike rate sums up to a crowd-pulling zero, I'm not kidding, a zero people!
For the Nationals, Luis Garcia, doing wonders with a 0.330 batting average, 16 RBIs, and 3 homers, followed by James Wood and his 0.267 average, 27 RBIs, and 9 dingers have been putting on a show. Then there's Nathaniel Lowe. Good ol' Nathaniel. Don't write him off, he might add few more runs on board from his 0.236 average and 13 RBIs.
On the other hand, the Dodgers have raised the bar with Hyseong Kim, a delight to watch with his 0.378 average, Andy Pages with 25 RBIs and 7 home runs, not forgetting Shohei Ohtani and Max Muncy. They've been crushing balls and breaking hearts.
Looking back at recent history, these two behemoths have locked horns a number of times with wins and losses trading places, but the Nationals were the most recent victors. This season, the Dodgers appear to be the juggernauts with a 47-31 record, while the Nationals sit rather precariously at 32-45. The Dodgers seem to have a recent hiccup, but hey, everyone loves a good comeback story.
Given all these strands of information, you may wonder where my obnoxious yet usually accurate prediction lies. Well, prepare to bask in the glory of my wisdom:
