San Diego Padres vs Washington Nationals Prediction: Nationals chances are high in this finale

In a three-game series, the San Diego Padres will play the Washington Nationals at the Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Padres have the edge in this series and will look to complete a sweep. Can the Nationals prove a point here?

San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres will hope to step up once again following a win in the first game of this series. In the opener, this team secured a 7-6 win and then a 9-7 win in game 2. However, the San Diego Padres have been brilliant in recent series, defeating the Milwaukee Brewers in the prior series to this. In the MLB this season, San Diego Padres have a 43-41 record, positioning them 6th in the National League standings,

Washington Nationals

The Washington Nationals will look to turn the tables following a poor start to this series. In the first two games, the Washington Nationals scored 13 runs but conceded 16. However, prior series by the Washington Nationals to this have been decent as they defeated the Detroit Tigers, Miami Marlins, and the Atlanta Braves, with their lone defeat being against the Arizona Diamondbacks. In the MLB this season, Arizona Diamondbacks have a 38-41 record, positioning them 9th in the National League standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Washington Nationals were strong in both first two games of this series, and despite losing, I feel this team has a chance in this one. However, the San Diego Padres have scored 16 runs in the first two games here, and in this one, they could be another side to watch out for. This should be a competitive game, but the Washington Nationals have my backing here.
