The Dodgers spent their day in D.C. shaking hands with the President before taking on the Nats tonight. Here’s hoping they're batting averages take a dip by the end of this series, just like the stock market lately.
The odds of that happening tonight would be better than any as Mackenzie Gore will be on the bump. Gore will be looking for a bounce back game after a so-so performance against the Blue Jays last time out.
C.J. Abrams will be out tonight after his right thigh tightened on the final play of yesterday’s game. Meaning James Wood will hit lead off in his place.
