Washington is coming off four consecutive series losses and has continued to tumble down the standings, riding an eight-game losing streak. After a tough series against the Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers, and New York Mets, Washington looked to get back on track against NL East last-place holders Miami Marlins. Three close, brutal losses later, fans are questioning who is in charge and the decisions being made internally. At home against the Colorado Rockies for a four-game series, Washington desperately needs this series as the schedule doesn’t get any easier any time soon.
Colorado has been one of the worst teams in MLB history up to this point in the season.
