Murphy has hit 20 doubles this season and has a team high 53 RBIs. Wilson Ramos is right behind him in average, hitting .339; he has hit 26 extra base hits to go along with 43 RBIs.
Bryce Harper is off to another good start, with team high 16 home runs to go with 46 RBIs and has hit a .256 average. The Nats lineup looks to keep rolling here to start the month of July.

Free Cincinnati Reds vs. Washington Nationals MLB Prediction:
This matchup looks to be lopsided in this one, I’m taking the Nationals. I do not think that DeSclafani is as good as he pitched his past couple starts.
I look for the Nats to be the team to beat him around in this one. The Nationals lineup has been so tough to contain and it won’t start now.
