Baltimore Orioles vs Washington Nationals Prediction: Orioles to start the series with a win

Major League Baseball between the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals will take place at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Heading into this game, the two teams are coming off a series win. Which team will keep things rolling?

The Baltimore Orioles are coming off a series against the Tampa Bay Rays on the road. In the opener of that series, the Orioles secured a win, holding their opponent to just one run while scoring four. In the meantime, this team kept things on the right track in game 2 with a 5-7 win but then lost with a slight scoreline in the finale, which ended 2-1. However, it is crucial to note that the Baltimore Orioles have lost just one of their recent series, which was against the San Diego Padres. In other series, this team defeated the Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Guardians. 

The Washington Nationals have been inconsistent and will need to be at the top level if they desire a win in this series. In their prior series, however, the Washington Nationals secured a win over the Washington Nationals. In the opener, the Washington Nationals started with a 3-2 win and then scored five runs in game two while conceding four. In the meantime, the Washington Nationals could not continue that run in the finale, as they lost 4-6. However, the Washington Nationals lost to the San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks in a prior series, but they did well in defeating the Milwaukee Brewers.

The Baltimore Orioles will start this series as a favorite, and in a home game, they can not afford to lose. At the moment, this team is the better side in the American League and looking at how their recent series have ended, I expect them to be sharp here. Also, with the Washington Nationals coming off a series where they scored a number of runs against the Los Angeles Angels, I expect some offensive surprise here, also.
