The 2019 Washington Nationals are just like a reluctant child in learn-to-swim courses. They keep treading water. Each single time you think they may be poised to make a go on the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves, the Nats shrivel up and let the opportunity escape them. The Nationals currently sit 6.5 games behind the Braves. Washington is given +600 chances to overtake Atlanta in the NL Divisional chances. 08/12/19 was taken on by * Odds. Washington is only five games behind Atlanta in the loss column and two up on the surging New York Mets. Just past the midway mark of July, Washington took two of four games from the Braves at Atlanta. The Nats followed up by winning three of four by the Colorado Rockies. They'd moved to within four games of the Braves. This, though, is not a team that embraces riches or opportunity. Since that time, Washington has dropped four of five series. That included falling twice throughout a three-game home set from the Braves. They finished a nine-game road trip Sunday with a win on the New York Mets at Citi Field to conclude the journey with their heads barely above water. Washington went 5-4 on the trip. The Nationals are a mediocre 15-13 since the All-Star Break. They are not exactly charging down the Braves. The Detroit Tigers have been the American League version of the Nationals not so long past. Like Washington, they awakened a sensational starting rotation. Heck, one newcomer -- Max Scherzer -- has been a part of both rotations. Between 2006-14, Detroit made the playoffs five times and played in two World Series, but never came close to winning it all, since the Tigers did not bother to invest in a bullpen. Sound familiar, Washington fans? At Friday's opener of this massive three-game series against the Mets, Washington nearer Sean Doolittle coughed up a 6-3 lead in the ninth and was walked 7-6. Prior to Friday, the Mets had lost 187 consecutive games when three runs in the ninth inning. Washington owns an MLB-worst 6.07 bullpen ERA. Even if you should discard the appalling 22.74 ERA of those departed Trevor Rosenthal, then the Nats will still own an MLB-bottom 5.63 ERA. Nationals relievers have discounted 22 of 52 save chances. Even guys who make their pay covering the national disgrace that resides within DC at the White House recognize the Washington bullpen is still a Nationals disgrace. Holding the first NL Wild Card spot, the Nationals start a significant six-game homestand Monday against the Cincinnati Reds. That is followed by three games with the Milwaukee Brewers, like the Reds a group in the Wild Card hunt. This needs to be Washington's focus. The old baseball adage is that you want a week's worth of games to compensate for a single match in the standings. The Nats are 6.5 games outside with seven months to perform , therefore their division-winning window is closing fast. They have seven games left with Atlanta but could realistically need to go at least 5-2 in that stretch to get any opportunity. The Nationals play 17 of their last 45 games against Wild Card teams, 19 games against present playoff clubs and only 15 against teams with sub-.500 records. The wisest move for Washington is forget about the division and lock on locking down the Wild Card. Let us have fun and keep it civil.
