Los Angeles enters at 4–2 to start the 2026 season, built on strong pitching and timely hitting despite somewhat modest offensive numbers early on. The Dodgers are batting .237 as a team with 23 runs scored, but their pitching staff has been sharp, posting a 2.83 ERA and holding opponents to a .190 average.
Andy Pages (.429 average) and Mookie Betts (5 RBI) have led the way offensively, while the team continues to rely on its depth and star power to generate runs. If their lineup begins to click more consistently, this is a group capable of quickly taking control of games.

Washington, meanwhile, sits at 3–3 but has been far more explosive at the plate, hitting .281 with 38 runs, both among the better early marks in MLB. The Nationals’ offense has been fueled by breakout performances, including Joey Wiemer’s scorching .588 average and CJ Abrams leading the team with 6 RBI.
However, pitching remains the key concern, as their staff has posted a 4.15 ERA and allowed significantly more traffic on the bases. With the Dodgers bringing one of the most balanced rosters in baseball into Washington for the home opener, this matchup sets up as a contrast between elite pitching and a surging young offense.
