The Los Angeles Angels vs. The Washington Nationals

August 15-16 at Nationals Park in Washington D.C.

The Washington Nationals are one of the league’s most watched teams. Due to the fact they have Bryce Harper. Last season, the Nats won the NL East with a record of 95-67. They would lose the NL Division Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 in the postseason.

One reason to watch this series is Danny Espinosa will return to Nationals Park. Nationals fans will likely be unkind to Espinosa for his strikeout total last season. However, they have bigger problems at this point. They have yet to re-sign Stephen Drew and lost Wilson Ramos to the Tampa Bay Rays.

One high note for the Nats was the offseason signing of Derek Norris. The Nationals were in desperate need of a strong closer coming into this season. 2017 is another year for the Nationals to make their case for another NL East title. Although, the biggest reason to watch this series is to see if the fans boo Espinosa.
