Nationals vs Dodgers
Blue blood, red alert—expect Chavez Ravine to keep humming.

Nationals (30-44) VS Dodgers (46-29)
Jun 20 2025 | 10:10 PM ET | Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles enters Friday’s matchup riding a 7-3 run and capitalising on steady contributions from across the lineup. The Dodgers are healthier than they’ve been in weeks and face a Nationals squad that has dropped nine of their last ten while still missing key arms and bats. Even with their starter being gradually worked back after injury, recent long outings by the rotation have kept the bullpen fresh. That balance should help cover any early exits, especially against a rookie opposing arm making a high-pressure road start.
Approaching the midpoint of the season, Los Angeles continues to press for a top playoff seed and has shown little hesitation capitalising on matchups like this one. Washington, by contrast, has struggled on the road and lacks the veteran depth to keep pace with a fully engaged Dodgers offence. The price is steep, but the edge in form, experience, and availability justifies the cost.

Los Angeles rolls into Friday’s matchup on a great run of form, showing few weaknesses as they near the halfway point of the season. With only one everyday contributor still out, the Dodgers have regained their offensive rhythm, while Washington enters with a bullpen stretched thin and key late-game arms unavailable. The Nationals’ starter has struggled on the road, and he now faces a deep, righty-heavy lineup that has consistently produced against this pitching staff over the past two seasons. Even if Los Angeles’s own starter delivers a quality outing, the warmer June air at home tends to reward hard contact.
Both teams are closing in on the halfway mark, but only one appears in postseason form. The Dodgers are pushing to extend their division lead, while Washington continues to search for stability on the mound and in the field. With heavy bullpen usage on one side and run-producing consistency on the other, this matchup shapes up well for the Over to cash before the late innings.

Los Angeles enters Friday’s matchup riding a great run of form and showing no signs of slowing, even with a key arm still working back from injury. The Dodgers’ offence has been carrying the load, and they now face a Nationals team on a torrid run of form with a bullpen missing its closer and showing signs of wear. Washington’s projected starter has already struggled in previous matchups with this lineup, and the Dodgers’ balanced attack is well-suited to exploit late-inning vulnerabilities—particularly against a staff allowing one of the league’s highest OPS marks after the sixth inning.
On the other side, Washington’s offence has struggled to generate consistent run support on the road, averaging under four runs per game, and enters this matchup facing a pitcher who’s handled their core hitters with ease. With the Dodgers holding a firm division lead at the season’s midpoint, every opportunity to bank wins against sub-.500 teams matters. Given the bullpen mismatch, offensive depth, and motivation, laying the -1.5 run line is justified.
