Nationals vs. Blue Jays prediction and pick

If they don't win this game, their season is over. I'm calling it now. Not only that, they better win this game by a significant margin with Patrick Corbin on the mound for the Nationals.

Corbin has a 4.70 ERA on the season and now he has to face a Jays team whose biggest offensive strength lately has been facing lefties. Since the All-Star Break, Toronto ranks second in the Majors in OPS against left-handed pitchers with a mark of .875.

Even if Corbin manages to survive his start, the Nationals will eventually have to turn to their bullpen that has a 5.66 ERA since the break. By comparison, the Jays have a bullpen ERA of 3.16 over that same time frame.

Chris Bassitt gets the start for Toronto now, and he has been significantly better at home this season with a 3.07 ERA compared to a 5.02 ERA on the road.

Jays win big tonight. Book it.
