2017 MLB Season:Los Angeles Angels vs. Washington NationalsAugust 15, 2017 by Marc Jerbs

On Tuesday, the Washington Nationals will face the Los Angeles Angels in a two-game interleague series at Nationals Park in Washington, DC. First pitch is set at 7:05PM ET.

The Washington Nationals will be without Bryce Harper when the face the hot-streaking Los Angeles Angels. He was put on a 10-day disabled list after he injured his knee while trying out a ground ball on a wet field over the weekend against San Francisco.

Washington's depth of players in the outfield will play another role as Bryce Harper sits out. The Nationals have enough strong pitchers and outfield depth and is line to win a division title without Harper's services.

The Los Angeles Angels has won its sixth game in a row and are very much alive in the race for a wild-card spot in the American League. Mike Trout is the leader on this team. His highly-rated skills have energized his teammates and has given them confidence.

On the pitcher's mound, it will be a battle between two lefties. The Angels will hand the ball to Tyler Skaggs while the Nationals will have Gio Gonzalez. The sportsbook handicappers have installed the Washington Nationals as the favorites to win the against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night.
