Angels at Nationals — Washington's Offense and Bullpen Pull in Opposite Directions
The Nationals score 5.11 runs per game, more than a full run above the Angels' 4.05, and lead in every season hitting category on the sheet — average, on-base, slugging and OPS by 69 points. Their bullpen undoes much of it: a 5.14 ERA and 1.47 WHIP against Los Angeles' 4.31 and 1.39. Jake Irvin has not recorded a quality start in 19 outings this season, and his walk rate has climbed to 4.8 per nine across his last five starts. Grayson Rodriguez has a 6.28 season ERA but has been the tidier of the two lately, 4.39 with 3.7 walks per nine. Both teams are 3-7 in their last 10, and both have scored under their season rate during that stretch.
