Both of these sides have massively underperformed this season. Both enter this game at the bottom of their respective divisions. The Nationals are currently 43-86 in the National League East, whereas the Athletics are 49-81 in the American League West. The win percentage reads .333 for the Washington side and .377 for Oakland, making them the two worst sides in the entire MLB. The Athletics have been poor this season, but their recent form has been something of a bright spell. They have won their last three straight games, including a win over today’s opponents on Tuesday. It was the first of a three-game series with game two coming up. In the process, they have won six of their last 10 fixtures, so will have some confidence leading up to today's matchup. Washington come into this game in mixed form, having lost four of their last 10 games. They are coming off two consecutive series losses against the Cincinnati Reds and the Seattle Mariners. In a season consisting mainly of negatives, Keibert Ruiz has been a positive for the Washington side. He has the best batting average on the entire team (.247). The Nationals have the least number of wins (43) and the worst team ERA (5.11) in the entire MLB.
