Washington Nationals
The Washington Nationals have had a challenging start to the season, with a 3-3 record in their first six games in California. Offensively, the team is struggling, ranking near the bottom in runs per game, batting average, OBP, slugging percentage, and home runs. However, they excel in stolen bases, ranking second in the league. On Monday, the Nationals will have their pitching staff in the spotlight, as rookie Mitchell Parker is set to make his MLB debut. While Parker has impressive strikeout numbers, he struggles with walks and has a high ERA in Triple-A. The bullpen, however, ranks in the top 10 in several categories. Despite their struggles, Washington is ranked 25th in offense and 13th in defense, with a 6-9 record so far this season. It will be interesting to see if Parker can deliver a strong performance in his debut game.
