Washington vs. Cincinnati MLB Game Analysis - July 20, 7:45 AM
Washington
Patrick Corbin (1 win, 9 losses, 5.57 ERA) will be going for his second win of the season. Corbin suffered a loss with a poor performance of 4 runs in 5 innings during an away game against the Mets on the 11th, and his pitching in the last three games of the first half has not been good. The fact that he struggled in an away game in Cincinnati on March 31 with 4 runs in 4.1 innings is also a bit of a concern. The extreme pitching shown by Washington's lineup in the last away games needs to be corrected, as their batting at home is not good. Except for the table setters, no one else should be playing. The bullpen, having traded Hunter Harvey, will have to rely on closer Finnegan.
Cincinnati
Frankie Montas (4 wins, 7 losses, 4.38 ERA) will be going for his fifth win of the season. Montas suffered a loss with a poor performance of 5 runs in 7 innings during a home game against Colorado on the 11th, which nullified his three consecutive good performances. He has been pitching well on the road compared to at home, and his 6-inning scoreless victory with 4 hits against Washington at home on March 29 will boost his confidence. The lineup, which showed strong batting at home in the last games of the first half, has greatly benefited from the addition of rookie Jesse Hinds. The key will be addressing the weaker batting on the road. The bullpen, which is close to having a surplus of players, is gradually seeing more stability from closer Diaz, which is fortunate.
Comment
Corbin's pitching has been quite inconsistent this year. It will not be easy to hold back Cincinnati's lineup. Although Montas struggled in his last outing, he has pitched well against Washington before, and Washington has been clearly in selling mode recently. This will particularly affect the bullpen. The Cincinnati Reds, who have the edge in pitching, are closer to winning.
