Rockies vs Nationals
Nats banking on Gray skies to ground Rox comeback

Rockies (15-57) VS Nationals (30-42)
June 18, 2025 | 6:45 p.m. ET | Nationals Park, Washington, D.C.

Washington’s right-hander is coming in putting up league average numbers, setting up a favourable matchup against an Colorado lineup reeling this season, with the worst record in the league by a long shot. Colorado also remains hobbled by injuries in their lineup, further weakening an already struggling club. Meanwhile, the home offense has a key bat who’s historically hit well off left-handed pitching, and they’re about to get a healthy return that boosts depth.
With season midpoint approaching, each game carries playoff weight for Washington, while Colorado is focused more on player development amid a massive deficit. The home mound advantage, combined with the Rockies’ road woes and injury pile-up, make this match a chalk move—solid despite short odds.

Washington send a fairly reliable arm to the hill against a Colorado rotation that's been torched for over 5.5 runs per game this season, with their road struggles extending a losing streak now into double digits. Washington’s bullpen enters a mid-June grind after a grueling homestand, setting the stage for late-inning fireworks if the arms unravel. With neither starter expected to go deep—one easing in from down time and the other part of a typically short-throwing staff—the middle innings should be ripe for opportunity.
With both starters unlikely to go deep—and neither team incentivized to protect rotators mid‑June—expect heavy bullpen usage and a boost in extra‑inning action. Between power from the Washington top order and Colorado's desperation for developmental reps, this one is primed for a high-scoring outcome.

Washington enters this matchup in a significantly better position, despite dropping ten games in a row, while Colorado continues to spiral this season, despite a three game winning streak, and brings the worst record in the league. The Rockies’ lineup is missing key contributors, further weakening a group that’s struggled to generate consistent offense away from Coors Field. Washington’s bats have found a rhythm, and their aggressiveness on the basepaths could stretch an already taxed visiting bullpen.
With the Nationals still clinging to fringe postseason hopes, expect a full-effort approach, especially with their pitching finding recent home success. Colorado’s road woes and thin lineup make the run line an attractive option. Even if the game stays close early, Washington’s form and bullpen edge should carry the value.
