Colorado Rockies vs Washington Nationals Prediction, Odds and Picks for Monday, 06/16/25

The Rockies and Nationals are set for a Monday night matchup in Washington D.C. Rookie Carson Palmquist is slated to take the mound for Colorado, while Jake Irvin will get the nod for Washington. Palmquist will be making his sixth career big league appearance, and the Rockies have lost his first 5 starts by a combined score of 31-14. Palmquist has allowed 27 hits and 19 earned runs in 22.0 innings, which equates to a 7.77 ERA and .310 BAA. He has struggled with command, as he has issued 13 walks compared to 16 strikeouts.

The Rockies are 7-30 away from Coors Field and they are hitting just .200 as a team on the road. Irvin’s numbers on the season aren’t other-worldly, but he has done a decent job at putting his team in a position to win. He has also been slightly better at home, and the Nationals have won 3 of his last 4 home starts. The Nats enter this matchup reeling a bit, but this could be the right time to get back on track. Consider fading the Rockies on the road and backing the Nationals on the run line at home in this one.
