Washington Nationals Opening Day: Get Your Tickets Here
MLB Opening Day is right around the corner. Here's how you can catch all the action when the Washington Nationals play.
WASHINGTON, DC — Is the smell of freshly mowed grass wafting into your nostrils? Are your tastebuds salivating at the thought of a newly unwrapped juicy hot dog? Not yet, maybe. But soon. Which means baseball season is right around the next cold snap. That’s right — the MLB season is just a snowball’s throw away, and what better way to watch than to take the kids or some friends to Opening Day. The team is in its West Palm Beach, Florida, digs for spring training, and the official first day of spring is just 21 days away.
The Nationals open the season on Thursday, March 28, with a home game hosting the New York Mets and you can catch all the action — or, if you’re really lucky, a foul ball — for $63.

The Nats look to improve on an 82-80 record from a year ago that was good for a second-place finish in the National League East behind the Atlanta Braves.

In case you forgot, the Red Sox won an impressive 108 games and went on to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games to win the World Series. The Red Sox are the early favorites to win it all again in 2019, according to the odds-aggregating site Oddschecker.com. Bookmakers are giving the boys from Fenway about a 13 to 15 percent chance of repeating as champions.
The Houston Astros and New York Yankees — both American League teams that reached the playoffs last year and also won at least 100 games — are the next favorites to win it all this year. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the early favorites to win the championship out of the National League. Bookmakers put their odds at between 11 percent and 12 percent.
