The two-game series between the Washington Nationals and the Baltimore Orioles is coming to an end. Game 1 was won by the Orioles in a very close encounter, which they took 4-3. Game 2 begins on Wednesday and the Nationals are ready to host Baltimore.
"When pitchers show emotion" - Nationals
The Nationals sit last in the National League East division. They have the worst (49-93) record in the entire league. Both home (22-48) and away (27-45) records are very underwhelming. Nothing has gone right for the Nationals in a season they would like to erase from memory. They are the 2019 World Series Champions and to see them in such a position is disheartening for the fans. They hope to see them bounce back next season.
Baltimore fought hard the entire season but to no avail. They are fourth in the American League East division. The Orioles have not done entirely badly, but it is just not enough. Their poor away form (33-37) has placed them out of contention for the playoffs. Below them are the Boston Red Sox, a team that hasn't quite lived up to expectations. The New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, and the Tampa Bay Rays are the respective top three teams in the division.
"Starting the week off right"- Orioles
Both the Nationals and the Orioles are 4-6 over their last 10 games. However, Baltimore have a lot more wins this season compared to the home team. Even though Game 1 was close, people expected the result to go the way it did. Washington are playing for pride at this point and they are looking to prove to themselves as much as everyone else that they can win some games.
