I'll take 79-82. (One game won't get played because both teams will be out of it)
We'll start out horrible, but they'll go on a tear near the end.

Our win-loss record this season won't be a measurement for success. This season will be successful if the team improves.
Entering this season we only have 3 players with guaranteed positions: Soto, Bell, and Cruz.
By the end we should have 6-7. If we still only have 3 (assuming Bell and Cruz haven't been traded) the season is a disaster.
Pitching is similar, but more complicated. The bullpen is a mess, and the starters are mostly suspect.
Too much is placed on Gray panning out. Can Strasburg and Corbin bounce back? Or will Paolo Espino be our #2 starter?
I was hoping the Nats would pick up a starter from the A's, but Sean Manaea went to the Padres and Chris Bassitt went to the Mets.

ESPN is showing it as a 7PM game, I had it on my calendar as a 4PM game
Has the rain pushed back the start time?

Yes, they announced it this morning. I thought I posted a thread on it.

You did, but I read that thread after I posted my question.

Right now, they are playing 360 ball, which will take them to 58 wins
They are going to have to play better ball to have a dream of your 62

Can’t wait for those August 2nd trade deadline pickups which will be sure
to vault them to my predicted 68-win plateau!

Wow, no one predicted the real answer: (55-107)
I am amazed they played all 162 games.

This was a painful season. Many games were terrible and hurt to watch.

Victor Robles played way too many games, he still is terrible.

And insult to injury, then the season ended with this:
