Reds vs. Nationals predictions, odds: MLB picks, best bets Wednesday
The Reds visit the Nationals and I haven't been this excited since I tried Mushroom Coffee.
Cincy's Nick Lodolo has won two in a row, allowing just two runs over 13 innings.
Lodolo faced Washington once this season.
Nick was nicked for seven runs on 10 hits over 5 ¹/₃ forgettable frames.
Are the Nats in the playoff hunt? Am I going to have Mushroom Coffee again?
Michael Soroka has given up three runs over his past nine innings, but he hasn't won a game since June 6 — going 0-4 over those seven starts.

Red Sox Predicted to Complete Intriguing Trade for Nationals' Ace to Solidify Rotation
Red Sox Predicted to Complete Intriguing Trade for Nationals' Ace to Solidify Rotation originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One team that could use an influx of young and consistent starting pitching is the Boston Red Sox. While ace Garrett Crochet continues to be worth every penny and Lucas Giolito and Brayan Bello have emerged as key arms in the last month, the team lacks any consistency at the backend of the rotation. A slew of injuries ended Kutter Crawford and Hunter Dobbins' seasons, and the same may be the case for Tanner Houck after suffering another setback. Meanwhile, Walker Buehler has been putrid with a 5.72 ERA in 17 starts, making the need for another starting pitcher the highest priority for Boston. As chief baseball officer Craig Breslow scours the pitching market, Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report predicts the Red Sox make a trade for Washington Nationals' ace MacKenzie Gore. The Nationals were initially tepid about trading the All-Star. However, as the trade deadline approaches, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports the team is entertaining calls for the left-hander. Although entertaining offers do not necessarily mean the Nationals are ready to part ways with Gore, the door is open to make a deadline deal. Rymer believes that Gore is a 'perfect match' for Boston and a proper co-ace to pair with Crochet at the top of the team's rotation. The cost to acquire Gore will undoubtedly be high. However, Rymer uses Breslow's own words against him, citing, 'the future is now' in regards to potentially trading away highly touted prospects Kristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer. Gore has posted a 3.59 ERA and 140 strikeouts across 112.2 innings. It may sound illogical to break the bank for Gore, especially if it means parting ways with Campbell or Mayer, but knowing the left-hander has two more years of arbitration left on his deal could be enough to coerce Breslow into another blockbuster deal. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 24, 2025, where it first appeared.

Aaron Judge officially on IL as Yankees activate Amed Rosario after trade
Aaron Judge is officially on the shelf. The Yankees placed the two-time AL MVP on the 10-day injured list Sunday, a day after he was diagnosed with a right flexor strain. Advertisement Judge's spot on the active roster was filled before Sunday's finale against the Phillies by utilityman Amed Rosario, whom the Yankees acquired in a trade with the Nationals on Saturday night. The ex-Met plays both the infield and outfield, giving the Yankees some insurance beyond their new starting outfield of Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham and Jasson Domínguez. There had been cries from the fan base for top prospect Spencer Jones to be called up to replace Judge, but the red-hot center fielder missed Friday and Saturday's games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with back spasms. The Yankees officially placed Aaron Judge on the injured list on Sunday. JASON SZENES/ NY POST Advertisement He is also not yet on the 40-man roster, and with the Yankees expected to make more trades in the coming days ahead of Thursday's deadline, they need to keep some flexibility with opening spots on the 40-man. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS Everson Pereira and Bryan De La Cruz are the two Triple-A outfielders that are on the 40-man roster. The Yankees could have opted to bring one of them up in addition to activating Rosario, but doing so would have meant designating Oswald Peraza for assignment. That may still happen in the coming days or weeks, but for now, the Yankees are keeping their depth. Advertisement The Yankees activated Amed Rosario Sunday after they acquired him in a trade with the Nationals. Rafael Suanes-Imagn Images As for Judge, the Yankees are hoping that they have dodged a bullet by Saturday's MRI revealing the elbow flexor strain and not any UCL damage. They believe he could come off the IL after a minimum stay and then strictly DH upon his return before beginning to ramp up his throwing. The Yankees on Sunday also called up lefty Brent Headrick as a fresh arm for a battered bullpen after optioning Allan Winans on Saturday night.
