Washington Nationals

About the Washington Nationals

The Washington Nationals are a Major League Baseball franchise based in Washington, competing in the National League East. They share the division with four rivals and play a 162-game regular season from late March through early October, with the top finisher in each division and the three best remaining records in the National League advancing to the postseason via the Wild Card.

Home games are played at Nationals Park, where the five-year rolling park factor sits at 1.00 — effectively neutral. The venue neither meaningfully helps nor hurts either side of the ball, so national league-average expectations apply. Our win-probability and over/under models apply this factor directly when the WSH host a series, which is why home and away projections for the same two clubs can look noticeably different.
