Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles: Prediction and Odds on the Match on April 22, 2025

Prediction for Major League Baseball for the 22nd of April 2025. This fixture will see the Washington Nationals play the Baltimore Orioles at Nationals Park. This will be the first game of a three-game series but the Baltimore Orioles are tagged as favourites. How will this game end? Below, I preview this game and offer the best betting opportunities.

Washington Nationals: Form and Statistics

The Washington Nationals will hope to continue in the direction of their performance against the Colorado Rockies in this fixture. In the meantime, this team has not had life easy lately, as they have struggled with only three wins in nine matches. However, they did well to improve their record to 9-13 after a win over the Colorado Rockies.

Washington Nationals Lineup

The Washington Nationals have Mitchell Parker as the starter for this game on the mound. This season, Parker has a 2-1 record with a 1.85 average earned runs and 16 strikeouts.

The Washington Nationals have four injury concerns ahead of this game. Paul DeJong has a nose injury and should be out for ten days. Also, J. Abrams and Michael Soroka are sidelined, while Cade Cavalli is suffering from an elbow injury which should take him out for 15 days.

Baltimore Orioles: Form and Statistics

The Baltimore Orioles are failing to exert their level of dominance in Major League Baseball and will have to prove themselves here. Coming off a run of inconsistent performances, the Baltimore Orioles are lurking around the bottom spots in the standings, with a 0.429 PCT.

The Baltimore Orioles will head into this game after being blown out by the Cincinnati Orioles in their last series. In the opener of that series, this team did lose 3-8 but then evened the series with a 9-5 score in game two. However, this team did not get a chance in the finale, as they lost 2-24, which is one of their poor records. Ahead of this game, the Baltimore Orioles sit 11th in the standings with a 9-12 record while they are fourth in the American League East Division.

The Baltimore Orioles have decided to go with Dean Kremer on the mound for this opening game. This season, Dean Kremer has a 2-2 record with a 6.41 average earned run and 13 strikeouts. However, his record against the Washington Nationals is impressive, as he has a 3-0 record.

Washington Nationals vs Baltimore Orioles Match Prediction 22 April 2025

These are two teams struggling to get things right and it is just difficult to get things right. At home, the Washington Nationals should show some character even though they will not have things easy with just two wins lately. However, the Baltimore Orioles have not been impressive either and while they come in slightly favoured by the bookmaker, I still feel they will have a long work to do to avoid a defeat. This will be a competitive contest as both teams eye a win. Yet, I feel the Washington Nationals will have the most luck and I will back them. Also, while the two teams have struggled in offence, their defences are also poor, and I expect a similar result.

Our match prediction: is a handicap (+1.5) for the Washington Nationals with odds at 1.74 on the 1XBet bookmaker.

Our betting tip: is over 9.0 runs with odds at 1.90 on the Bet365 bookmaker.
