WASHINGTON, D.C.—With four series in the books and a ten-day, three-city road trip ahead, the 2025 Washington Nationals are shaping up to be anything but predictable. Their early-season performance has been a rollercoaster, offering glimpses of promise while underscoring areas for improvement.

The Nationals opened the season with mixed results. A bullpen collapse cost them their first series against the Phillies, followed by a sweep at the hands of the Blue Jays in Toronto. However, they rebounded impressively, taking back-to-back series from two strong NL West teams: the defending World Series champion Dodgers and the playoff-hopeful Diamondbacks. With a 3.5-game deficit in the division standings, the upcoming road trip against beatable opponents like the Marlins, Pirates, and Rockies presents an opportunity to gain ground.
