DODGERS New BLUE heads east after All-Star Break for a 3-Piece with the NATS..."WEEKEND Benders" Post Mid-Summer Classic #DODGERSbiz #NATitudeBiz

The L.A. Dodgers head east to take on the Washington Nationals as both Teams are the Hunter after the Break. The Boys in Blue are trailing the NL West leading Arizona Diamondbacks by just 2 1/2 games. The Nats are in 2nd in the NL East but trailing the Braves by six as we go to press. This is the start of that back end of 162 and they will all start to count heavily towards your chances to get to the "Fight for October".
