Washington proved once again that this team is destined to under perform.
New York
The Mets have played like a champion the last two nights, beating their closest rivals despite middling performances from their vaunted pitching staff.
Now that they can actually score runs (16 the last two games) they just might be the best bet to win the NL this season season.
Tonight they are looking to sweep away the Nats for good. It won’t be a mathematical elimination but when you walk into your opponent’s park and remove their soul you are usually going to come out on top (too dramatic?).
Even though the Mets have not gotten their usual stellar mound performance that could change tonight with Jacob deGrom.

Unheralded before last season he has become one of the most consistently great pitchers in the game. In his last 10 starts he has given up more than 3ER just once.
He has one four starts against the Nats this season and the team is 2-2 but things are trending in the right direction with the two victories coming in his last two outings.
With deGrom on the hill it is hard to get this kind of value but he is just 2-2 as an underdog.
Washington
The last couple of games have sealed the fate of the Nats. Instead of finding themselves down a couple of games with the chance to sweep they are now down 6 games (and even more in the Wild Card race). Essentially their season of disappointment is over.
The real question now is what is the true outlook of this teams looking at 2016 and beyond.
Part of that disappointment can be directed at starter Stephen Strasburg. Coming into this one he has yet to pitch 100 innings and despite having the best stuff on the team (sorry Max) he has the 4th best ERA among regular starters, fifth if you let Joe Ross sneak in there.
The Nats have always treated the Stras with kid gloves but it is getting to the point of asking what they were saving him for.
