Happy Corbin Day! Today, we've got Patrick Corbin of the Nationals paired up against Griffin Canning for the Angels. Lately, Corbin's been having a tough time—over his last three starts against the Giants, Diamondbacks, and Padres, he's given up a hefty 18 runs on 24 hits. He’s kept the walks (4) and home runs (3) relatively low, but opponents have definitely been teeing off on him.
When it comes to the Angels, they've got a .265 batting average in 49 at-bats against Corbin, with a .321 on-base percentage and a .709 OPS. Interestingly, he hasn't faced the Angels yet this season, so it’ll be fresh territory for both sides.
On the mound for the Angels, we have Griffin Canning. There’s not much history between him and the Nats' lineup—only six Nationals have faced him, totaling 11 at-bats with a mere .182 average. It's a small sample size, but it’s worth mentioning.
Don't expect Canning to have a repeat of his rocky outing against the Rockies two starts back, where he allowed six runs over six innings. His last start against the Mets was more controlled, with two runs allowed over five innings, despite handing out four walks.
Both teams have had their struggles with the bullpen, so this game could really open up in the later innings. But before any bullpen drama, expect the starters to give up around 5-6 runs. Picture a tight 4-4 game stretching into extra innings. The Nats are coming off a high-scoring series with the Giants, and the Angels are swinging well after taking two out of three against the Yankees.
