Washington Nationals vs Colorado Rockies: Prediction and Odds on the Match on June 17, 2025

Prediction for Major League Baseball for 17th of June 2025. In this fixture, the Washington Nationals will play the Colorado Rockies at Nationals Park. This will be the second game of a three-game series. However, with the Colorado Rockies winning the opener, can the Washington Nationals take something out of this one as favourites? Below, I will make a preview for this game and offer predictions. 

Washington Nationals: Form and Statistics

The Washington Nationals will come into this game hoping to turn the tables after consecutive poor performances. In their opener of this series, this team could not win even as favourites, losing by two runs in a 4-6 contest, with a run in the fourth and three runs in fifth innings not enough to lead them to victory. However, that defeat was Washington Nationals’ ninth in a row, having lost to Miami Marlins, Texas Rangers and New York Mets in that run. Ahead of this game, the Washington Nationals have failed to win in four consecutive series, with their last victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks where they won the first two games. In the National League standings, Washington Nationals sit 12th with a 30-42 record and a 0.417 PCT.

Colorado Rockies: Form and Statistics

Colorado Rockies will be confident of hurting the Washington Nationals once again after a decent performance in the opener. In a 4-6 contest, the Colorado Rockies needed three runs in the final inning to win this game after going behind in the fifth inning. In the meantime, Colorado Rockies have won consecutive games, having avoided a sweep against Atlanta Braves in their prior series. Ahead of this game, Colorado Rockies have lost seven of their last ten consecutive matches with no win in three straight series. Ahead of this game, the Colorado Rockies sit bottom of the National League with a 15-57 record and 0.208 PCT.

Washington Nationals vs Colorado Rockies Match Prediction 17 June 2025

The Washington Nationals are failing to display competitiveness again and will need to improve on both ends of the field to get back to winning ways. While looking at their recent plays, it is clear they are lacking in defence, but their offense also has to do better. For the Colorado Rockies, their overall season performance has been below par and coming off a series defeat, they will need to show they can compete after also picking a win in the last series of this game. However, I feel this game will involve a lot of offensive games, while the Washington Nationals win.
