Five National League teams that benefit most from the universal DH
Which teams will improve the most with a DH every day?
Washington Nationals
MLB
Washington Nationals’ quiet winter doesn’t rule them out
World Series champions are set to compete in 2020 despite losing Anthony Rendon.
MLB
Nationals retaining Strasburg could set off free agency dominoes
Washington Nationals have agreed a deal to re-sign starting pitcher and World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg, per Jon Heyman. Strasburg will receive over $220 million over a seven-year deal.
Atlanta Braves
Five potential suitors for free agent third baseman Josh Donaldson
The Braves won their second straight NL East title, and offseason acquisition Josh Donaldson had his fair share of contributions on his way to hitting 37 home runs and leading the Braves into the postseason.
Los Angeles Angels
Three teams most likely to sign Nationals free agent Stephen Strasburg
Stephen Strasburg put himself in a position to opt out of the four years $100 million remaining on his seven-year $175 million contract by having a fully healthy and productive season. After averaging only 145 innings per year between 2015 and 2018, he pitched 209 innings and won World Series MVP, setting him up for another huge payday.
MLB
Mike Rizzo and the Nationals have a lot of work to do after World Series title
After the Washington Nationals won its first ever World Series championship in 2019, it’ll be all smiles for now, which the long-suffering franchise deserves at last. However, soon it will be time for free agency and GM Mike Rizzo’s task to remain among the MLB’s elite could prove more difficult than expected.
Houston Astros
Houston Astros are favourites in the World Series but they’re not unbeatable
Look out, AL teams. There’s a new dynasty in town in the Houston Astros. They’re playing in the World Series for the second time in the last three years after finishing with league-high 108 regular-season wins and are widely regarded the favorites to win it all against the Washington Nationals.
MLB
How the Washington Nationals defied the odds to make their first World Series
Washington DC has a World Series team for the first time in 86 years. Having not won a playoff series since their move from Montreal in 2004, the Nationals have managed to win two after sweeping the Cardinals. They will play either the Yankees or the Astros to win their first title.

Los Angeles Dodgers
Strasburg in line for more postseason heroics in LA
The NL Wildcard Washington Nationals have battled all the way to a deciding fifth game of the NLDS against the two-straight National League champions Los Angeles Dodgers. One of the biggest contributors on a very dangerous team so far has been starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg.
Cleveland Indians
End of MLB regular season: Playoff race, permutations, predictions
Sadly, the time has come to face the ending moments of a very competitive 2019 season in Major League Baseball. But while much of the playoff picture has already been determined, a few crucial battles are yet to conclude.
MLB
Underappreciated Rendon has played his way into MVP conversation with historic season
Rendon currently has the 9th best OPS in a season by a third baseman since 1902, everyone above him either current or future Hall of Famers (and A-Rod). He has had a historic 2019, just not quite at the level of Yelich or Bellinger.
