The Washington Nationals must win at least two of their next three games.
Yeah, I know, it doesn’t take rocket science to reach that conclusion.
Entering this series, the Nats are 5.5 games back of the Braves in the National League East. Recently, the Nats got as close as 4.0 games back after sweeping the double-header against the Rockies last Wednesday.
Now, the Nationals have a chance to gain those games right back. And it has to happen this week.
The importance of this three-game series cannot be overstated. The amount of leverage that can be gained or lost over the next three days is massive.
