Prediction: St. Paul Saints VS Omaha Storm Chasers 2025-06-01
The main event: Arizona Diamondbacks vs Washington Nationals. Two teams with identical 27-30 records, because who doesn't love a good .500 team?
Corbin Burnes takes the mound for the Diamondbacks, and I'm expecting him to bring the heat. The Diamondbacks have a solid .445 slugging percentage, which is fourth-best in MLB, so I'm hoping they can capitalize on that against Mitchell Parker and the Nationals.
The Nationals have won 25 of 48 games as underdogs, which is impressive, but I'm not convinced that'll be enough to take down the Diamondbacks at Chase Field. James Wood, C.J. Abrams, and Luis Garcia are key players to watch for the Nationals, but I think the Diamondbacks' lineup, featuring Geraldo Perdomo, Corbin Carroll, and Josh Naylor, has the edge.
My best bet for this game is the Diamondbacks on the moneyline. With their strong slugging percentage and home-field advantage, I think they've got this one in the bag. The fact that they're 19-18 as favorites also gives me confidence in their ability to close out games.
As for the other news, Matt Wallner's return to the Minnesota Twins is exciting, but it's not relevant to this matchup. And the St. Paul Saints vs Omaha Storm Chasers game? Not my concern today.
So, there you have it. Diamondbacks on the moneyline are my pick. Let's see if they can bring home a W.
