San Diego at Washington

July 18, 2025
img6:45 PM Eastern

San Diego has won eight of the past nine meetings, and the Padres come into this game after taking two of three from the Phillies, although they lost 2-1 on Sunday. The Padres have won five straight following a loss, and they have won six of seven Friday games with Dylan Cease as the starter. Washington's managerial change hasn't done much good as the Nationals have lost four in a row and eight of nine, and they are headed for a last-place finish in the NL East. Washington is 0-7 in its past seven games after allowing at least five runs in its previous game, and 0-5 against teams that allowed two or fewer runs in their last game. The UNDER is 4-0-3 in Cease's past seven road starts, and San Diego has stayed UNDER four of six overall. The Padres are 53-43 on the run line and 54-39 UNDER this season. Take the Padres on the runline and the UNDER.
