The Nats have been unable to stop the Dodgers lineup so far this series. They will get one more opportunity to solve the puzzle that is the Dodgers lineup this afternoon. Due to weather, the game will be delayed, but the forecast should clear up later in the afternoon.
Despite his struggles, Blake Butera is sticking with James Wood in the leadoff spot. Interestingly, Nasim Nunez will be in the 2 hole. Joey Wiemer will be back in the lineup, with Blake Butera wanting a spark from his team. CJ Abrams will be in the 6 hole, even though he is red hot. Keibert Ruiz and Jose Tena are also in the lineup. Brady House has the day off. Foster Griffin, the crafty lefty, will have his hands full with this Dodgers lineup.
Due to injuries, matchups and off days, this Dodgers lineup is not quite as intimidating. However, it still has plenty of thump with Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and the red hot Andy Pages. Former Nat Alex Call will get his second straight start of the series. We will be seeing Santiago Espinal and Dalton Rushing for the first time in this series. The enigmatic Roki Sasaki will be on the mound for the Dodgers. He will be interesting to watch.

The last couple games have been rough, but a win today would help the Nats get back on track. They have really had to run the gauntlet so far, but the schedule lightens up after this. 4-5 is much more manageable than 3-6, so that should be the goal today. Follow along in the comments down below and let’s go Nats!
