The Nationals are a team that has a decent offense from Rendon and they have been able to run away with a lot of the games they have done on the season so far when Rendon shows up with his hot hand. The downside is if Rendon struggles so do the Nationals, but the good news is the Royals pitchers will not be able to shut him down in this game and that allows the Nationals to have a good showing in this game. Final Score, Washington Nationals win 8-3.
