Washington Nationals vs Pittsburgh Pirates Game 1 Betting Preview
On Saturday, the Washington Nationals will face off with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first game of a double-header from PNC Park. Both of these teams are well out of playoff contention in the National League. But while this game is lacking in significance in terms of playoff positioning, it will still be an intriguing couple of games from Pittsburgh.
The pitching matchup for this contest pits DJ Herz of the Nationals against Luis Ortiz of the Pirates. Herz enters this contest with a record of 2-7 and an ERA of 4.09, while Ortiz is 6-4 with a 3.19 ERA in 2024. Both men will be called upon to eat up as many innings as possible to avoid over-taxing their bullpens with another game still to be played.
Offensively, the Pirates rank 28th in MLB, with a dismal performance across various metrics. Conversely, the Nationals, while also struggling, rank slightly better at 22nd overall. The projections suggest that the Pirates might have the edge today, especially given Herz's status as a below-average starter compared to Ortiz's respectable projections. As the Pirates aim to win a second game in a row, they’ll need their bats to wake up and support Ortiz against a Nationals team that also lacks firepower. With a game total of 8.5 runs set, this matchup promises to be competitive yet critical for both squads as they continue to navigate disappointing seasons.
