Around the League: 2017 offseason edition / 2018 Season

Nats are on life support right now. 6 games back of the 2nd wild card is technically doable with a little over a month left. But they'd have to get crazy hot while the 6 teams in front of them all played .500 baseball. Aside from an 02 Athletics type of winning streak, they're toast.

They are not going to jump 6 teams. Their season is toast. Especially with their pen being putrid.
 
our 7 day delta on playoff odds at BP is 25% to 81%. BP has liked us better than the other projection systems all year and now has our odds of winning the WS at 8%. Average outcomes of their simulations have us finishing at 90 wins.
 
Nats-Phillies seems slightly slanted towards the Nats in the pitching matchups:

Velaquez v Roark
Eflin v. Strasburg
Nola v. Scherzer (hell of a matchup)

be the spoiler, Nats.
