Nationals-Reds lineups  Rob Carr/Getty Images  (Rob Carr/Getty

the loaded Reds, whose lineup will provide the first insight
into to one of the biggest questions surrounding the Nationals’
offseason: Will not having a left-handed specialist in the
bullpen hurt them, or will their powerful stable of right-
handers make it irrelevant? With left-handed mashers Joey Votto
and Jay Bruce anchoring the Reds lineup, and Shin-Soo Choo
leading off, chances are Nationals relievers will be tested in
big spots against some fearsome lefties this weekend.  For the
Nationals, it’s the usual, with Kurt Suzuki catching Dan Haren.
