◆ Matchup preview

Toronto Blue Jays at Washington Nationals (2026-07-29). Trey Yesavage vs Zack Littell at Nationals Park.

Starters — Yesavage has a 3.92 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 85 innings with 9.21 K/9, 4.45 BB/9, and 1.06 HR/9. His last three starts were 4.0 IP, 3 ER, 9 K, 1 BB; 6.0 IP, 3 ER, 9 K, 2 BB; and 1.2 IP, 4 ER, 1 K, 7 BB. The strikeout ability is clear, but the walk rate is elevated, and the recent trend is down despite two better outings after the rough July 11 start. Littell has a 5.17 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 101 innings with 5.88 K/9, 2.76 BB/9, and 2.23 HR/9. His last three starts were 5.0 IP, 1 ER, 5 K, 1 BB; 6.0 IP, 8 ER, 4 K, 4 BB; and 4.0 IP, 1 ER, 5 K, 0 BB. The trend is up, but the profile remains contact-oriented with a major home run issue.

Teams — Toronto owns a .682 OPS, 425 runs, a .242 average, and a 4.17 team ERA with a 1.31 WHIP. The Blue Jays are 3-7 in their last 10, so the recent form has lagged, and the offense has been modest by the numbers provided. Washington brings a .776 OPS, 594 runs, a .254 average, and a 4.75 team ERA with a 1.40 WHIP. The Nationals are 6-4 in their last 10 and have been the more productive lineup overall, though their pitching staff has allowed more traffic and carries the weaker run prevention marks.
