Nats vs Dodgers: Youth vs Stars

On April 3, the Washington Nationals kick off their home season today at Nationals Park

against the Back-to-Back World Series champs, the Los Angeles Dodgers.

It's a heavyweight clash, but the Nats have pulled off some upsets against these guys

right here in DC before.

Miles McCollus takes the hill for Washington, facing a Dodger squad that's 4 and 2 so

far this year.

They're making a bold move by sitting their Red Hot Hitter Joey Wimmer, who's been tearing

it up every day lately.

Instead, look for James Wood, Jacob Young, and Dailin Lyle patrolling the outfield, with

Brady House as the designated hitter and Jorbit Vivasat.

Third, that youth movement is front and center against L.A.'s firepower.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers roll out a lineup stacked like an all-star roster.

Shohei Oltani, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and their big off-season grab.

Kyle Tucker batting second.

Even with all that talent, some of their stars have been ice cold early on, which gives

the Nats a real window if it keeps up.

Emmett Sheahan counters for L.A. a product of their sharp player development system.

The Nats just wrapped a strong road trip to open the year, building momentum as they return

to the district.

Buckle up for this one, at 1.05pm, Eastern Young Guns vs Superstars, and anything can

happen when the Nats get that home cooking going.
