The Nats have been a chore to watch the last month and a half. We really saw that on display during an 0-6 west coast trip. Many of the games were close, but the Nats consistently found ways to lose. That is just what they have been doing lately. Hopefully that can change at home against the Angels.
With a lefty on the mound, Daylen Lile is actually out of the lineup. The outfield will be Dylan Crews, Jacob Young and James Wood. Andres Chaparro will get the DH duties, with Yohandy Morales at first base. With Nasim Nunez on the bereavement list, CJ Abrams will be at shortstop. Harry Ford will do the catching in this one. Nats ace Cade Cavalli will look to snap the losing streak.
The Angels have a couple big names at the top of the lineup with Zach Neto and Mike Trout. There are a lot of younger players and journeymen after that though. Wade Meckler has been the most productive of that group and he will be a bat to watch. Veteran lefty Yusei Kikuchi is on the hill tonight.
