Cincinnati Reds vs Washington Nationals Prediction – 7/23/2025
The Washington Nationals have struggled throughout the 2025 MLB season. But they have had success against the Cincinnati Reds this year. Washington is 4-1 against the Reds this season and 2-0 against them in their current series. The Nats will look to complete a three-game sweep of the Reds today at Nationals Park.

Call or TEXT 1-800-Gambler 21+ Gambling Problem? Call or TEXT 1-800-Gambler 21+ Nick Lodolo has delivered three consecutive quality starts. He has more strikeouts than he has hits allowed this season for the Reds. Mike Soroka is more hit‑or‑miss on the mound for the Nationals. He is 3-7 with a 5.10 ERA and has had a hard time stringing together quality starts this year. Washington’s bullpen is arguably the worst in all of baseball. But their bullpen has taken care of business against the Reds for the most part this year. They helped hold the Reds to just one run on Tuesday and will look for a repeat performance today. Cincinnati has dropped the first two games of this series and has lost three games in a row overall. Washington has won two straight games and three of its last four. Score Projection: Reds 7 – Nationals 6 Win Probability: Reds 59%, Nationals 41% If the Reds want to be a serious contender for a National League Wild Card spot, I think they have to win today in Washington. The Reds can’t afford to lose winnable games against bad teams this often. But they also need to show the fight necessary to dig in and move ahead of several teams to get to October. I think they do just that today. I expect Lodolo to help them get out to an early lead and for their bullpen to hang on late.Our Reds vs Nationals Pick
