Orioles vs. Nationals: Game 2 prediction, odds, injuries, and picks - May 17, 2025
The Baltimore Orioles failed to contain the Washington Nationals in the series opener at Camden Yards on Friday as the visiting team turned around a 3-2 deficit to win 4-3 after a late rally.
Orioles vs. Nationals Recent Form and Records
Baltimore showed signs of life after a series win over American East leaders, the New York Yankees, at the end of last month. They had a series win on the road against the Los Angeles Angels earlier this week.
However, things have been bleak for the AL East team since they were swept by the Minnesota Twins at home, and Friday's loss made it four defeats on the trot for the struggling Orioles.
The Nationals haven't been too great this season either as the win in the series opener was just their second in the last eight games. However, the team would be hoping for an upturn since it was a second win in three games.
