Washington Nationals
The Washington Nationals are struggling and are currently at the bottom of the NL East standings, on track for another last-place finish in 2025. The team has undergone significant changes this season, including the firing of both the manager and general manager. It is expected that more changes will occur in the offseason as the team aims to return to its former competitive state, following their World Series win in 2019. The Nationals have recently lost several games, including a 6-0 defeat to the A's. The team will rely on Brad Lord, a reliever-turned-starter, in an upcoming game. Unfortunately, the Nationals are well out of the playoff race and can only disrupt the standings for other teams. Key players such as Josiah Gray, Trevor Williams, and Derek Law are currently unavailable due to injuries.
