Washington Nationals-Dodgers Game 1 NLDS Preview

The day is finally here. This afternoon, the Washington Nationals will begin their NLDS series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. During the regular season, the Dodgers won five of the six meetings against the Nats. But, in the postseason, it’s a whole new ballgame.

Wednesday night, there was a classic pitcher’s duel at Citi Field between Madison Bumgarner and Noah Syndergaard. Today, the pitching matchup has a chance to live up to what those two pitchers did. It will be a battle of Cy Young winners as Clayton Kershaw goes for the Dodgers against Max Scherzer for the Washington Nationals.
