WAN vs TAB Dream11 Prediction | MLB, Major League Baseball | Washington Nationals vs Tampa Bay Rays, 1 July

WAN vs TAB Dream11 Match Prediction: The 2021 Major League Baseball season is nowhere near its end and yet, Kyle Schwarber is threatening to rewrite Washington Nationals‘ history books. One thing is for sure, he will be in the annals of this franchise come to the end of this season. He is producing an extraordinary home-run binge never been seen in Nationals history.
The left fielder opened the bottom of the first with enthusiasm, hitting a homer from the leadoff spot breaking the record for the most home runs hit in the first inning this season. The Nationals hit one more run in the 2nd and should have added more later in the match. But luckily, Washington didn’t have to pay for their complacency and managed to get away with a 4-3 win.
The Nationals and Tampa Bay Rays will close out their two-game mini-series with a game at Nationals Park late on Wednesday night (IST).
