"The Nationals' offense in 2025 was rather weak, sitting 23rd in wRC+ (93), 24th in OPS (.693), playing a significant part in their 66-96 record."
"Wiemer has two home runs and is slashing .588/.682/1.059, for an OPS of 1.741 and a 360 wRC+."
"The Dodgers will keep things pretty normal as they just hope for the top of the order to really kick things into gear."
"They'll look to bounce back against a Nationals' pitching staff that doesn't really compete with that of the Guardians."
The Dodgers start their first road trip of the season against the Nationals after a disappointing series loss to the Guardians. They averaged just over two runs per game in that series. Emmet Sheehan will pitch for the Dodgers, while Miles Mikolas starts for Washington. The Nationals' offense struggled last season, ranking low in wRC+ and OPS. They hope for improvement with young players like Daylen Lile and Joey Wiemer, who has excelled early this season. The Dodgers seek to activate their top hitters to regain momentum.
