The Blue Jays head to Washington for a crucial three-game series against the Nationals, with Toronto clinging to fifth place at 48-58 while the Nationals sit third at 54-52. This is their first matchup of the season, and the Nationals are riding a hot streak—winning six of their last ten games and outscoring opponents by 21 runs—while the Jays are struggling, losing seven of their last ten and being outscored by 27. The Nationals boast a strong home record when they limit homers (24-35), while Toronto’s road woes continue (22-48). Key bats to watch: C.J. Abrams (27 HR, 82 RBI) for Washington and Ernie Clement (.297, 25 doubles) for Toronto. Both teams are missing key players due to injury, adding unpredictability to what could be a dramatic series.
