The Colorado Rockies will face the Washington Nationals on Thursday in a matchup where both starting pitchers are aiming to break a winless streak. Colorado's rookie Gabriel Hughes is still searching for his first career victory, holding an 0-5 record after eight starts.
Hughes has allowed 22 runs over his last 18 1/3 innings pitched, and has surrendered a home run in each of his past four games. He is scheduled to start for the Rockies.
On the other side, the Nationals' Jake Irvin has lost his last three outings, giving up 13 runs in 15 1/3 innings. Irvin also has a winless record at home in Washington, going 0-4.
The Nationals are favored in the matchup, with odds of -119 at DraftKings. The game is anticipated to be a low-scoring affair given the struggles of both starting pitchers.
