Weathers is going to make just his second start of the month when he goes up against Washington this Wednesday. He got hit pretty hard in his last start, as he got tagged for four earned runs in 5.2 innings of a 4-0 road loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 14.
If anything, that tough outing versus the Dodgers should have helped prepare his nerves for another challenging assignment against the Nationals. In any case, Weathers will be looking for San Diego’s bats to back him up. Matt Carpenter could be the x-factor for San Diego’s offense in this game, as he is a career .286 (8-for 28 with three home runs and six RBI) hitter versus Washington starter Trevor Williams.
Starting pitcher: Ryan Weathers (1-2, 3.42 ERA)
Betting on the Washington Nationals
- Season record 2023: 20-28
- Moneyline: (+135)
- Run Line: (+1.5, -125)
- Over/Under: (9.5)

Williams is all set to make his fifth appearance of the month. He picked up a loss in his last start in which he allowed three earned runs on five hits with five strikeouts in 6.0 innings of a 5-3 defeat on the road at the hands of the Miami Marlins last Thursday.
Prior to that, the Nationals had won in three consecutive appearances of Williams, who is also sporting a solid 2.55 ERA in four home starts in the 2023 MLB regular season, thus far. Behind Williams is Washington’s offense which is among the best in the league against lefties. Weathers could have trouble versus the likes of Lane Thomas and Alex Call, who are among the most effective weapons of Washington against southpaws this season.
Starting pitcher: Trevor Williams (1-2, 4.26 ERA)
JefeBet Prediction
Washington get to Weathers early and establishes a comfortable lead on its way to a victory.
Prediction: The Nationals win, 7-4.
