The Washington Nationals and San Diego Padres meet again for their second series in a week. This time the Nats head to Petco Park for a four-game series in San Diego. Here's our Nationals-Padres picks.
Thursday night's matchup is a rematch from last Saturday between Anibal Sanchez and Yu Darvish in DC. Though it was the only win in the three-game series for the Nationals, Sanchez did not receive a decision in his start.
The Padres are 5-5 in their last 10 games and beginning to pick up steam once again, as they've outsc ored opponents by 17.6 runs. The Nationals have been outscored by 28 runs in their last 10, however, they're 27-9 when they score at least five runs in a game.
Here are my MLB picks and predictions for Thursday night's game between the Nationals and Padres (odds via FanDuel, BetMGM, and DraftKings Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5 scale).
