MLB - Opinion

As the Washington Nationals prepare to face the San Diego Padres at PETCO Park, there's a palpable sense of anticipation in the air. The Nats have shown flashes of brilliance in recent games, and this upcoming matchup offers them an opportunity to assert their dominance early on. In their previous game against the Colorado Rockies on June 17, the Nationals demonstrated resilience by scoring 6 runs with a late surge in the ninth inning. This ability to capitalize on opportunities will be crucial as they look to set the tone from the first pitch.
