Nationals at Padres MLB Player Prop Picks (Jun 24)

The Washington Nationals (33–46) aim to build on Monday’s surprising 10–6 win, powered by CJ Abrams and James Wood leading the offense. They face the San Diego Padres (42–36), who counter with rookie ace Ryan Bergert (1–0, 1.88 ERA). Washington sends veteran Trevor Williams (3–8, 5.54 ERA) to the mound in a pitcher-friendly matchup with a total set at 8.5 runs. The first pitch is at 9:40 p.m. ET at Petco Park.

• Nationals took Game 1 behind Abrams-Wood surge and a strong outing from Mitchell Parker.
• Trevor Williams has a 5.54 ERA and 1.45 WHIP, allowing four or more runs in over half his starts.
• Padres rookie Ryan Bergert has yet to allow a run beyond three earned, posting a 1.88 ERA with 19 strikeouts.

Washington Nationals Player Prop Pick: Trevor Williams

Monday’s win showcased power from Abrams and Wood, affirming the talent from the Soto trade. However, the rotation remains inconsistent, with Williams continuing to struggle. The bullpen has been dependable, but the lineup still relies heavily on its emerging core.

• Williams has allowed 4+ ER in 8 of 15 starts, with a 1.45 WHIP.
• Petco Park is pitcher-friendly, but his high walk rate and limited strikeout support increase risk.
• Even with Nationals’ offense, he’s likely to serve up runs.

San Diego Padres Player Prop Pick: Ryan Bergert

The Padres have strong pitching depth and are confident at home. Bergert’s rookie performance has been impressive, and their bullpen remains top-tier. Offensively, they balance power and contact, and a bounceback is expected after Game 1’s loss.

• Bergert averages 7.6 K/9 with 19 strikeouts in 24 home innings.
• Nationals rank top 10 in K/BB rate and aggressive at the plate.
• His command and swing‑and‑miss profile suit this matchup.
