Dodgers vs. Nationals: Game 3 prediction, odds, injuries, and picks - June 22, 2025
The Los Angeles Dodgers take on the Washington Nationals on Sunday for the third and final game of the series at Dodger Stadium. Coming into this one, the hosts sit top of the NL West with a 47-31 record. The visitors, on the other hand, are currently 32-45 and sit fourth in the NL East.
Let's take a look at the odds and how the action might play out.
Dodgers vs Nationals prediction
Taking the mound for Los Angeles is Shohei Ohtani. So far, the Japanese superstar has pitched only one inning this season, allowing one run against the San Diego Padres on Monday.
From an offensive standpoint as well, it is Shohei Ohtani who is the main man for the hosts, supported by the likes of Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Will Smith.
For the Nationals, righty Michael Soroka makes his latest start. Soroka has struggled slightly to keep the runs down this season, with a 3-5 record, a 5.06 ERA and 49 total strikeouts.
At the plate, James Wood is arguably the hottest hitter in the lineup, and others like C.J. Abrams, Nathaniel Lowe and Luis Garcia have also enjoyed plenty of success this year.
With the Nationals having won game two comfortably to even up the series at one game apiece, the hosts should be motivated to finish with a win and clinch the series in the process.
