Nats struggled to score against very good pitching this weekend. Mets struggled a little less. They're still a team that was carrying a sub .300 OBP and last week was 1-66 over a stretch with runners in scoring position. Cespedes, Johnson, and Uribe aren't going to make a huge dent there.

Also, next week, the disembodied spirit of Lou Gehrig will leave Duda's body. That will be good. That ball he hit out off Zimmermann was video game shit. I think the list of active major leaguers who can not cheat on that pitch and consistently do damage on that is exclusively inhabited by Miguel Cabrera.

Nats are a more talented offensively inept team. That's what I'm betting on to carry the division. The guy that really worries me in the line-up at this point is Zimmerman. Although, Werth might have gotten old.
