The Washington Nationals (67-78) are visiting the San Diego Padres (75-68) on Monday, September 7, 2026. The Padres hold a better record and are playing at home, which is reflected in the betting odds. San Diego is favored on the moneyline at -203, meaning you’d have to bet $203 to win $100. The Nationals are the underdogs at +166, so a $100 bet would net you $166 if they pull off the upset.
Looking at the spread, the Padres are favored by 1.5 runs at odds of +105. This means they need to win by at least two runs for a bet on them to pay off. Meanwhile, the Nationals are +1.5 underdogs at -127, so a bet on Washington wins if they lose by one or win outright.
The total is set at 8 runs, with the over slightly favored at -112 and the under at -108. This suggests the game is expected to be moderately scoring, but the line is close enough that either side could be a good play depending on your read.
Overall, the Padres’ better record and home advantage make them the logical favorite. However, the spread and moneyline prices indicate the Nationals are not far behind. If you think this game will be close or low-scoring, the Nationals +1.5 or the under 8 runs could be worth considering. If you expect the Padres to win comfortably, their moneyline or -1.5 spread are solid options.
