- The Dodgers are 5-1 SU in the last 6 meetings in Washington.
- The Nationals are 1-5 in their last 6 playoff games.
Rich Hill and Tanner Roark are slated to get the ball for the Dodgers and Nats, respectively. Hill (12-5, 2.12 ERA) went 3-2 with a 1.83 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in six starts after being acquired from Oakland. The veteran is 1-1 with a 4.34 ERA in four career appearances against the Nationals.
