Baltimore at Washington

1:35 PM Eastern

The Nationals are going for the sweep of the Orioles. They have reached .500 while Baltimore is 20-26 with an 8-14 road record. Washington also has defeated Baltimore in nine of the past 10 meetings. Yet the Nationals find themselves home underdogs. It is understandable that the oddsmaker is not in love with Washington starting pitcher Miles Mikolas, who has a 7.00 ERA and 1.53 ratio. However, Mikolas has held opponents to three runs or fewer in seven straight appearances. Baltimore is not exactly pitching a stud either. Brandon Young has a 4.15 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and gives up 1.4 home runs and 3.8 walks per nine innings. The Nationals are the far better offensive team. They lead the majors in runs per game at 5.4 and are in the top seven in homers and OPS. The Orioles are 17th in runs, 24th in batting average and 21st in OPS. They have scored three or fewer runs in eight of their last nine games. Take the Nationals.

Baltimore at Washington

May 16, 2026

4:05 PM Eastern

Baltimore is on a 3-5 run, averaging 3 runs per game, with all 8 games going UNDER the total. The offense has slipped to 20th in on-base percentage, 21st in slugging, and 26th in steals. Starter Chris Bassitt comes off a 2-1 win over Las Vegas. The Orioles have won their last six starts, allowing 12 earned runs in 31+ innings. He faces a Washington offense that is 15th in on-base percentage, off a 3-2 victory over Baltimore yesterday. Starter Cade Cavalli has a 3.57 ERA at home, and this total is too high. Take Baltimore/Washington UNDER the total.
