The Nationals are actually 5-7 since starting out in a terrible 1-10 slide. That could look prettier if it wasn’t for the bullpen explosions, implosions, and whatever else type of ‘plosion you can think of. The regrettable weekend series against the Marlins and a few blown saves here and there have combined to make this team look much worse than it is. They’re not as bad as you may think. Offensively, their rankings among other NL teams are pretty interesting:
Runs Scored per Game – 10th
Ok, that isn’t particularly promising, but when you look at the numbers that go into it :
Hits – 4th
OBP – 4th
SLG – 7th
OPS – 6th
HRs – 8th
