The Houston Astros have had more losses than wins this preseason, and the Nationals aren’t the only team they’ve lost to. They’ve secured two wins and three losses out of the five games they played.
Last week they lost thrice in a straight row to the Washington Nationals, New York Mets, and Miami Marlins. They lost 7:11 to the Nationals, 2:0 to the Mets, and 4:5 to the Marlins. However, Houston won Miami on Tuesday 2:1 and New York on Wednesday 2:5.
Since the Astros are returning the ill will to past opponents, this matchup will reveal if the Nationals will be the next team to take back the defeat they meted out to Houston.

- 1XBet Spread: +1.5
- 1XBet Moneyline: 2.383
- 1XBet Over/Under: Under 8.5
Unlike their opponents, the Washington Nationals have had more wins than losses in the preseason. Three wins, one loss, and one draw makeup their match results out of the five games they played.
This past Saturday, they were defeated by the Miami Marlins 0:7, then won the Detroit Tigers 2:1, before defeating the New York Mets 3:2 on Monday. Houston had a 4:4 draw with the St. Louis Cardinals and a current 5:2 victory against the New York Yankees.
Today’s game will decide if they will be on the receiving end of Houston’s recent revenge spree or if they’ll be teaching the Astros the same lesson twice in such a short period.
MatchPlug Prediction
Washington is in the better position to win the Astros, and it’s mostly because they’ve recorded the most wins the last times these teams clashed, plus the Nationals won Houston not so long ago.
However, Houston seemed to have stepped up and even took some time to return the defeats they suffered at the hands of the Marlins and Mets. The Astros may do the same to the Nationals, especially since they already defeated them twice – once last season and again this preseason.
