◆ Matchup preview

Arizona Diamondbacks at Washington Nationals (2026-07-25). Mitch Bratt vs Foster Griffin at Nationals Park.

Starters — Bratt has a 5.06 ERA and 1.78 WHIP over 10.2 innings, with 5.91 K/9, 5.06 BB/9, and 2.53 HR/9. His last three starts were 4.2 innings, 2 earned runs, 4 strikeouts, 1 walk; 3 innings, 3 earned runs, 0 strikeouts, 3 walks; and 3 innings, 1 earned run, 3 strikeouts, 2 walks. The sample is still small, but the WHIP, walk rate, and home run rate point to traffic and volatility. Griffin has been far steadier, carrying a 2.68 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 117.1 innings with 8.51 K/9, 2.07 BB/9, and 1.30 HR/9. His last three starts were 7 innings, 1 earned run, 2 strikeouts, 1 walk; 7 innings, 1 earned run, 9 strikeouts, 0 walks; and 5 innings, 1 earned run, 2 strikeouts, 1 walk. The trend is up, supported by three straight outings of one earned run allowed.

Teams — Arizona owns a .707 OPS, 469 runs scored, a 4.20 team ERA, and a 1.29 team WHIP. The Diamondbacks are also 8-2 in their last 10, which suggests better recent form than their season-long offensive line alone. Washington brings the stronger season offense with a .769 OPS and 569 runs, but the pitching staff has been less reliable overall with a 4.77 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. The Nationals are 4-6 over their last 10, so this matchup pairs the better recent team form on Arizona’s side against the more productive lineup and the much stronger starting pitcher on Washington’s side.
