As a team, things could not be going much better for the Washington Nationals. A team that was left for dead by many, including myself, after a 19-31 first two months of the season, has mad a complete turnaround to reach .500 before July 1.
Washington is only the seventh team in Major League Baseball history to come back from 12 games under and reach the .500 mark before the first of July. Their offense has come alive, the starting pitching has been dominant, and even the bullpen has started to perform much better than they did at the start of the season.
