The Nationals are hitting the road, where they have been a much better team this season. They will face a White Sox team that is pretty similar to themselves. Both are rebuilding teams that do not have great records but have shown flashes of a bright future. This should be a fun little series.
The White Sox are using a lefty opener, so the Nats have made some lineup tweaks to account for that. Luis Garcia Jr. will be in the 8 hole so he can avoid the lefty. Daylen Lile will be in the 2 spot, which
is the highest he has hit this season. Brady House will be the DH and hit third. That means the hot hitting Jorbit Vivas will be at third base. Drew Millas will be behind the plate. PJ Poulin will be the opener, while Miles Mikolas and Riley Cornelio will follow him.
This White Sox lineup is led by new addition Munetaka Murakami. The Japanese slugger is a true three outcome hitter. He is hitting third. Colson Montgomery is another exciting young power bat for the southsiders. This White Sox lineup has some big time power, but they do not hit for a ton of average. Lefty Bryan Hudson will open for the White Sox and he will be followed by former Nat Erick Fedde, who has had a lot of success against his old club.

It is not the sexiest matchup, but I am excited to watch these two rebuilding teams. Hopefully Murakami does not feast against this homer prone pitching staff. If the Nats can keep him and Montgomery in check, I like their chances. Follow along in the comments down below and let’s go Nats!
