The Washington Nationals finished in last place in the NL East this past season. But they were not a total embarrassment, avoiding the 100-loss mark, despite being expected to be one of the worst teams in baseball in 2023. This year, the Nats will hope to build on their 2023 campaign, going from subpar to a playoff contender. Here, we break down the upcoming season for the Nationals and make our pick for them in the season win total market.

Washington Nationals Pick, Predictions & Betting News
Offseason Transactions
Key Additions: Joey Gallo, Nick Senzel
Key Departures: None
Washington made a couple of marginal acquisitions during the offseason. They brought in Joey Gallo and Nick Senzel, which should help them in the power department and bring them a much-needed body to fill the void at third base. These are not big enough moves to make the Nationals a contender for a playoff spot, even if they are upgrades in the aggregate.
Offensive Outlook
There were just two teams that scored fewer runs than the Nationals in the National League last season. Those teams were the Pittsburgh Pirates and San Francisco Giants, both of whom were also not in playoff contention. This year, we could see a little more from the Nats offensively with the addition of Gallo, but Gallo is such a feast or famine hitter that he could end up doing more harm than good if his power numbers are not high enough.
Pitching Outlook
Washington allowed the second-most runs in the National League last season, with only the Colorado Rockies giving up more. Given that Washington does not play at Coors Field for half the season, that is a bad look for the Nationals. They didn’t make any meaningful upgrades to their pitching staff in the offseason, making it hard to envision that the Nats will do a better job of shutting down opponents in the season to come.
Positives & Negatives
There aren’t a ton of positives to look forward to for the Nationals going into 2024, but the fact that this team showed some fight last year despite being woefully undermanned is a good sign going into this year. But the roster for this team is a negative in and of itself, as they are so far behind the teams in the top-half of their division that it is hard to envision this team being truly competitive anytime soon.
Washington Nationals Season Win Total Pick & Prediction: Over 65.5
Washington is by no means going to be a great team this year, but they will continue to compete. They will win around 70 games again this year and they could very well finish ahead of the New York Mets in the NL East standings if they maintain that level of competitive drive that we saw a season ago. We will take the over for Washington’s season win total in what should be an unspectacular year that will not be disastrous either.
