On the other side, we have the Nationals, who are on a three-game winning streak, giving them a total of 4 wins and 6 losses. They're currently sitting at the fourth position. At home, they've put up a respectable 4-3 record, but they've had no luck on the road yet with a 0-3 record.

Defensively, the Dodgers have also been superior, limiting their opponents to an average of 3.2 points per game, while the Nationals have allowed 5.1. This substantial difference in both offensive and defensive performance could be a key factor in tonight's game.

In terms of power ratings, the Dodgers have a negative rating of -22.64, but a significantly higher win percentage of 0.818. This suggests they are generally a stronger team, but they've had a few significant losses that have impacted their rating. Their point differential is 0.18, which is solid.

Contrarily, the Nationals have a power rating of 92.11. Despite this higher rating, their win percentage is a lower 0.333, indicating inconsistency. Their negative point differential of -0.14 suggests they've been outscored over the course of the season.
