When the Washington Nationals have been at there best in years past, the team has been lead by their starting pitching. Since the teams first trtp to the post season in 2012, Washington has built teams focused on having dominant starters, and have made many big-money investments in pitching.
This season, Washington has arguably the best top three starters in all of baseball. Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg, and Patrick Corbin are a trio that can match up against anyone on paper. All three have a legitimate shot at winning the Cy-Young this season, and with minimal run support they have still been able to provide All-Star level production.
