As if being in the same division as the San Francisco Giants isnt taxing enough, now the Dodgers have to contend with the even-year magic of the Washington Nationals. Are you unfamiliar with that trend? Well, it doesnt get nearly as much attention as the Giants, but the Nats have their own little even-year thing going. Just as in 2012 and 2014, 2016 saw Washington capture the NL East crown; these are the only division-winning teams in the 48-year history of the Expos/Nationals franchise.Sadly, just like the 2012 team, this years team will apparently be without the services of Stephen Strasburg.?Only this time, his absence isnt a disaster of the teams own making. Strasburg isnt the only injury the team must deal with as they begin the playoffs. Wilson Ramos, who not only had the best year of his career but one of the best offensive seasons of any catcher in baseball this year, has been lost for the season with a torn ACL. On top of that, Daniel Murphy, who unexpectedly assumed the role of the teams offensive leader from Bryce Harper, hasnt started a game since Sept. 17 due to a nagging leg injury.The Dodgers know all about injuries, of course, as the team needed 15 different pitchers to make a start for them during the 2016 regular season. However, Game 1 starter Clayton Kershaw appeared to have worked himself back into top form over five late-season starts, and to a lesser degree, that appears to be the case with Game 2 starter Rich Hill as well.While the health of the two teams is the most obvious contrast between the Dodgers and the Nationals, there are other factors to consider in handicapping the series, and the Chalk team of baseball experts will take it from here.
