Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Washington Nationals

Tuesday, April 23, 2024 – 06:45 PM ET at Nationals Park


A quick rematch takes place in the nation’s capital Tuesday night when the Dodgers open a set with the Nationals. Los Angeles sends James Paxton (2-0, 2.81) to the mound while Washington turns to Patrick Corbin (0-3, 8.06) in the matchup of veteran southpaws.

Betts & Co. Feasted on Corbin Last Week

Paxton last pitched on April 14, and displayed some awful command in a no-decision against the Padres. The 35-year-old walked 8 in his 5 innings, and the Dodgers ultimately fell 6-3 at home as -155 chalk at top sportsbooks.

Corbin suffered the loss in the only game the Nationals dropped to the Dodgers a week ago, allowing 5 runs and walking 4 before being relieved in the top of the seventh. That’s nothing new for Corbin who has now surrendered 20 runs in his last 4 starts against LA (16.2 IP).

Visitors Have Won 5 of Last 7

Washington took 2 of 3 from the Dodgers in LA last week, clearing nearly 5 units for anyone who played the Nationals the entire series, with 2 of the games finishing ‘under’ the totals. Road teams split the 6 games between the clubs a year ago.

A stiff southerly breeze blowing out to left is in store, and we’ll stick with the trend on the visitors in this rivalry by playing the Dodgers on the run line.
