Young Nationals' First Home Series Comes Against Champion Dodgers
Emmet Sheehan and Miles Mikolas are the probable starters as Los Angeles opens a road series after going 93-69 last season.
- On Friday, the Washington Nationals host the two-time defending World Series champion Dodgers for their home opener at 1:05 p.m. EDT.
- Washington returns home after losing two straight to Philadelphia, including a 6-5 defeat in 10 innings on Wednesday. Los Angeles begins its first road trip leading the NL West but dropped two of three to the Cleveland Guardians earlier this week.
- Emmet Sheehan will start for the Dodgers, facing Washington's Miles Mikolas, who allowed six runs to the Chicago Cubs over five innings in his only start this season.
- The Dodgers enter as-268 favorites, while the Nationals face injury challenges after going 32-49 in home games last season and currently placing multiple players on the injured list.
- Manager Blake Butera said his young team remains hungry despite rebuilding expectations: "These guys are hungry, and they want to prove that they belong here." Dodgers manager Dave Roberts aims to improve early-inning production after struggling in first innings.
