Orioles: Zach Eflin (3-1, 3.13 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 13 strikeouts) BETMGM SPORTSBOOK LINE: Orioles -175, Nationals +147; over/under is 9 1/2 runs BOTTOM LINE: The Baltimore Orioles take on the Washington Nationals after losing five games in a row.

For the first time since 2018, the Nationals have won the Battle of the Beltways. Now they have a chance to sweep their first series at Camden Yards since that same 2018 season if they can pull off another victory in this afternoon’s finale.

Orioles GM Mike Elias and owner David Rubenstein have yet to answer questions about why they fired manager Brandon Hyde.

The 37-year-old inked a one-year, $5.25 million contract with Baltimore in March, but he's been dumped from the big-league roster after posting a 16.78 ERA, 2.92 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB across just 12.1 innings.
