The Tigers seem to be at a breaking point early in the season. Following back-to-back home series in which they were swept, there is some buzz that manager Brad Ausmus is on the immediate hot seat. Now the Tigers face a Nationals team that is coming off a four-game sweep at the hands of the Cubs. Despite that, Washington is a very good team and the pitching matchup favors them heavily today.
