Washington Nationals at San Diego Padres prediction, pick for Monday 6/23/25

Goodness gracious are the Nationals ever in a nosedive. While the team is technically 2-2 in its last four contests, Thursday’s 4-3 win over the Rockies not only prevented a four-game sweep at the hands of a historically bad team, but it also ended an 11-game losing streak. Woof. The Padres aren’t exactly coming into […]

Texas Rangers at Pittsburgh Pirates prediction, pick for Friday 6/19/25

This is not exactly a tilt between two thriving teams. Quite the opposite. While the Pirates were able to cap off yesterday’s doubleheader in Detroit with a Game 2 victory, that contest leaked into extra innings, which means Pittsburgh’s pitching staff was tasked with covering 18 whole innings on Thursday — the Tigers didn’t bat […]
