The next few weeks will be telling.

Winning 2-1 counts the same as 5-4.

It take a combination or bad offense and horrendous relief pitching to squander a trio of Scherzer, Strasburg, and Corbin. Early in the season, the Nats were that uniquely bad.

The Nats don't need wholesale changes. I'd like them to take a flier on some bullpen arms, but I'm happy to take on the second half of the season knowing the Nats are built around an elite starting pitching trio and has a lot of decent offensive pieces around Rendon and Soto. You can win games with that setup.
