Opening Day is today and our staff wanted to share their predictions for how the Washington Nationals season will play out this year.
It is that time of year again where the staff at District on Deck gazes into their cracked crystal ball and predicts how well the Washington Nationals will do in the upcoming season.
Although we try our best, you just never know what will happen over the next six months. Hopefully, the injury bug stays away, Blake Treinen excels at closer and we enjoy a deep run into October.
Regardless of how the Nats finish, they start the season in first place and undefeated. With some luck, they will finish the regular season in first.
There is added pressure on the Nationals to excel this season. But, a full season of Trea Turner and a healthy Stephen Strasburg gives everyone something to look forward too. This is a big year.
With a strong assist from our staff, we give you our predictions for the upcoming year. No matter what happens, we hope that the 2017 season brings you joy and excitement. This will not be a dull year and hope you check us out regularly.
We do not promise to be correct, but we will have plenty of fun along the way. Hopefully, one of us is right.
Without further adieu, here is how we see 2017 playing out. In the comments section below, tell us where you think the season is headed.
