We’ve seen the standings, we know the odds, but wouldn’t it be very “DC” of the Nats to go ahead and sneak into the playoffs anyway?
Here’s how the rest of the schedule shapes up:
@Mets, @Philly, Vs. Milwaukee, Vs. St. Louis (Matt Adams Return), Vs. Chicago (Daniel Murphy’s Return), @ Philly, @ Atlanta, @ Miami, Vs. Mets, Vs. Miami, @ Colorado
Current Teams in Front of them for the 2nd WC spot: Milwaukee, Colorado, Philly, Dodgers
These are the current odds via Fangraphs
Win Div Win WC Make Playoffs Win World Series
I’m not SAYING it is going to happen…but again it would be very DC of them to make the playoffs after obviously giving up on the season…
Strasburg is back, which we will see tonight, some nice home series opportunities with the Mets and Marlins…
Don’t get me wrong, this team has shown all season that they can’t handle their business whatsoever and win games we think they will easily win.
But I’m a dreamer, and until the math no longer can add up…
There’s always a chance…
