Washington Nationals vs Kansas City Royals Prediction: The two teams are in a poor run

Nationals Park will host Major League Baseball between the Washington Nationals and Kansas City Royals. The two teams have been very poor in recent matches. How will they react in this fixture?

The Washington Nationals will look to change their narrative after only avoiding a sweeping defeat in their last series. In that game against the Chicago Cubs, the Washington Nationals started with consecutive defeats, which ended 7-6 and 3-1. However, they pulled off a 1-5 win in game three but failed to score in the finale, ending 5-0. In their last seven matches, the Washington Nationals has just one win, with a sweeping defeat against the New York Mets. The Washington Nationals have a 69-87 record this season, leaving them seated 13th in the standings. 

The Kansas City Royals last series ended in defeat, and they will eye a win here. The Kansas City Royals lost 1-2, 0-9, and 0-2, a very less-than-par performance in that series. However, the Kansas City Royals have lost all of their last seven matches, as they also lost to the Detroit Tigers in that run. This season in the American League, the Kansas City Royals have an 82-74 record, leaving them seated 5th in the standings. 

The Washington Nationals were the better team in the last series of this game, but their recent performances do not portray any strong play here. While the Kansas City Royals are struggling right now, they have been better all season, which could be the talking point in this game. Yet, it is vital to note that these two teams are poor, and I expect a lot of poor performances from them. Expect the City Royals to win while expecting many runs.
