Baltimore Form & Recent Results
Baltimore heads into Saturday’s matchup with Washington feeling a bit of momentum, riding a one-game winning streak and having taken three of their last five. That recent stretch has included some impressive road results as well, with victories over the Angels in Anaheim and the Dodgers in Los Angeles, two wins that show the Orioles can handle tough environments away from home. With that in mind, they’ll be aiming to keep stacking wins as they continue this series against the Nationals.
On Friday at home, Baltimore earned a 3–1 win behind a well-rounded effort on both sides of the ball. Designated hitter Coby Mayo helped set the tone at the plate, finishing 2-for-4 while scoring a run and driving in another. On the mound, starter Trevor Rogers delivered one of his sharper outings of the season, working 6.1 innings and giving up just five hits and one earned run, while issuing no walks and striking out seven Washington hitters. As a team, the Orioles totaled eight hits and 11 total bases in the win, and their offense has generally been productive lately, averaging 5.6 runs per game over their last five. This season, first baseman Pete Alonso has been Baltimore’s main power threat with 18 home runs and also leads the club in RBI with 55. Shortstop Gunnar Henderson isn’t far behind in the long-ball department with 16 homers, while left fielder Taylor Ward has been the most consistent contact hitter, leading the team with a .262 batting average. With the series finale on Sunday, Baltimore will be looking to stay aggressive early and keep those runs coming.
Washington Form & Recent Results
Washington comes into this matchup in a rough stretch, riding a four-game losing streak and dropping four of their last five overall heading into Saturday’s game against the Orioles. That skid hasn’t been against light competition either, as it includes a loss to Baltimore and then a frustrating series at home where they lost three out of four games to the Phillies. On Friday night in Baltimore, the Nationals fell 3–1, and one of the few bright spots was center fielder Jacob Young, who went 1-for-2 and scored Washington’s lone run, giving them at least some spark in an otherwise quiet offensive performance.

Even with the recent struggles, Washington still has a couple of clear standouts in the lineup. Right fielder James Wood has been their biggest power threat this season, leading the team with 20 home runs, while shortstop CJ Abrams is close behind with 17. Abrams has also been their most productive run producer, pacing the Nationals with 57 RBIs, and he’s been their most consistent hitter as well, leading the team with a .282 batting average. The bigger concern right now, though, is on the mound because in their last five games, Washington has been giving up 6.6 runs per game on average. If they want a better result against the Orioles on Sunday afternoon, they’ll need a much tighter performance from their pitching staff, especially on the road.
Key Stats
- Washington’s CJ Abrams this season: 17 HRs, 57 RBI, .282 AVG
- Baltimore’s Pete Alonso this season: 18 HRs, 55 RBI, .252 AVG

Washington vs. Baltimore Picks and Prediction
Baltimore is expected to hand the ball to Zack Littell on Sunday. He comes in with a 6–6 record and a 5.40 ERA, and he’ll be matched up against Washington right-hander Kyle Bradish, who’s 5–7 with a 3.64 ERA on the year. The Orioles picked up a solid home win over the Nationals on Friday, and they’ll try to carry that momentum into the series finale. Littell’s been inconsistent and has run into trouble at times this season, so Baltimore will be hoping to give him some support and take advantage of any openings against a Nationals lineup they just handled well. Final Score Prediction, Baltimore Orioles win 5-2.
