Ohtani is not expected to return to the lineup on Friday against the Nationals. The Japanese star struck out four times on Wednesday against the Cardinals; however, the Dodgers rallied to win 3-2 on Thursday against the Cardinals with a walk-off double by Tesocar Hernandez that drove in Mookie Betts and Tommy Edman.
The Dodgers' odds to win the first game of the weekend series against the Nationals are now around -260. Blake Snell will start for Los Angeles. August was supposed to be a month of recruitment for him after his injury, but he has certainly delivered some good performances, such as his recent 10-strikeout outing against the Tigers. Snell has a 3-1 record and a 2.35 ERA against the Nationals.
The Nationals are coming off a 9-0 loss to the Braves in their last game. Strangely, they were limited to just two hits, one of them by Woods, who has returned from injury and seems determined to punish the Dodgers, having already hit five home runs against them in his career.
