Colorado Rockies vs Washington Nationals Prediction – 6/19/2025

As the Washington Nationals prepare to host the Colorado Rockies on June 19, 2025, both teams are enduring dismal seasons, sitting well below .500. The Nationals, with a record of 30-44, face off against a Rockies team that has struggled significantly at 17-57. The latest matchup saw the Nationals drop their 11th straight game, continuing a tough stretch.

Trevor Williams, the projected starter for the Nationals, has had a challenging year himself, recording a 3-8 Win/Loss record and exhibiting a troubling ERA of 5.71. However, advanced projections suggest he has been somewhat unlucky, with his xFIP sitting at 4.31, pointing to potential improvement. Williams is characterized by a low strikeout rate (17.0 K%) but will face a Rockies offense that leads the league in strikeouts, which could mitigate his recent struggles.

On the hill for the Rockies is Chase Dollander, who has his own battles, evident in his 6.57 ERA. Dollander has also been a low-strikeout pitcher (20.0 K%) and is notorious for walks (10.9 BB%), which might be less of a concern against a Nationals lineup that has shown impatience at the plate, ranking 6th in the league for least walks taken.

As the Nationals aim to exploit the Rockies' offensive weaknesses, they will also look to capitalize on their middling performance on the mound. The Game Total for this matchup is currently set at 9.5 runs, indicating expectations for an offensive display, which the Nationals could leverage given their status as betting favorites with a moneyline of -145.
