Match Details
- Date: 2025-07-18
- Time: 10:45 PM UTC
- Location: Nationals Park
Game Overview
The San Diego Padres, currently second in the NL West, face the Washington Nationals, who are fifth in the NL East, in a matchup that could see significant scoring given the recent form of both teams' pitchers.
Key Factors to Consider
- The Padres have a stronger record overall, but recent performances from both teams' pitchers suggest potential for a high-scoring game. The Padres' Dylan Cease has struggled with a 6.27 ERA on the road, while the Nationals' Mike Soroka has a 5.67 ERA at home.
- Cease has a strong record against the Nationals, but this game involves different dynamics with both teams looking to improve their recent results.
- There are no significant reported injuries affecting the starting lineups.
- Weather conditions and home-field advantage could play a role, but the difference is not significant enough to sway the prediction.
- Both teams are motivated, but the Nationals are looking to stop a four-game skid, which might increase their urgency.
