Speaking of the Nationals, they just aren't looking good.

Nobody is hitting except for Harper and Murphy, and their good record is the product of playing shit teams (though the Phillies are about to sweep them, despite being at home).

Maybe the pitching and Harper will carry them, but I wouldn't be surprised if they miss the playoffs again.

Dusty Baker is not a good manager, either.

Could easily see an NL postseason involving the Mets, Dodgers, Cubs, Cardinals, and Pirates again, just like last year. Except the Cubs would be the favorites.
