3) – (Last Week – 3) - Even without Stephen Strasburg, the Nats still arguably have the best starting rotation in the big leagues. It will be up to Jordan Zimmermann, Gio Gonzalez, Edwin Jackson and Ross Detwiler to carry the load down the stretch as the club tries to lock down home-field advantage in the playoffs.

2) – (Last Week – 1) - The Nationals’ remaining schedule is no joke, matching up against four teams who are all jockeying for the postseason (LAD, MIL, PHI, STL). Could the weekend sweep at the hands of the Braves come back to haunt the Nats?

2) – (Last Week – 1) - I'm not prepared to toss out the entire body of work based on a three-game sweep on the road against a damn strong playoff team in the Braves.
