The still Soto-less Nats host the Braves for a series this week.
If you are a Nats fan you couldn't be happier about facing the Braves right now. They have lost 4 in a row for the 3rd time already this year after being swept by the Blue Jays this weekend. To say they are struggling is an understatement at this point. At 12-16 they need to turn things around pretty quickly or they are going to play themselves out of the division before June.
