Nationals vs Tigers MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
While the Washington Nationals possess a tremendous offense, they are running into right-hander River Ryan. The No. 5-ranked prospect in the Detroit Tigers ' organization, Ryan was a force in his debut campaign before injuries sidelined him.

Through his first four starts in 2024, Ryan was 1-0 with a 1.33 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. His underlying metrics were equally impressive.
If he had qualified, Ryan would have finished the year in the top half of the league in xERA, xBA, average exit velocity, and hard-hit rate.
He threw nearly 10 innings in spring training this year, allowing just two earned runs while striking out 12 over that stretch.
Pick: Nationals Under 3.5 Runs (-104, FanDuel | Play to -115)
