Sitting at 60-53 overall, the Washington Nationals own the top Wild Card spot. Fangraphs.com gives the Nationals a slightly better than a three in four chance of making the playoffs, which is 4th highest in the Nationals League. The thing is, there are currently seven teams within three games of each other in the Wild Card standings and the Nationals just lost two of three to an Arizona Diamondbacks team who is one of those seven battling for a spot.
The good news, however, is that the Nationals essentially control their playoff destiny. Of their 49 remaining games, the Nationals play 21 of those against teams they’re fighting for a playoff spot against.
