Nats talking like they are still in it (what else are they going to say) and will be for sure if they sweep the Phils in this series. Then they get the Mets and Phillies again, so of course they think if they go on a run they can get back in it. They also have Roark, Strasburg back and then Scherzer for this series. No pressure, they simply have to sweep.
I think the Nats are done like dinner after losing 2 out of 3 at home to the lowly Marlins. A sweep in that series and maybe they would be in it. They put all their pending free agents on waivers which is not the best sign. They are going to lose many of them for nothing at the end of the year. I think they are in damage control, but they have already screwed this up.
We are likely going to get the Phillies at plus money for three straight games. I will be using the Phillies in parlays ever day this week at plus money. It is tough to go against Roark tonight as he is very hot, going for 6 wins in a row, but he has not done very well against the Phillies this year and we always have the Nats disastrous bullpen to fall back on.
