Washington Nationals Series Preview: Employee #11’s weekend against the Philadelphia Phillies

If the Washington Nationals could only play teams from the National League East this season, let’s just say it wouldn’t be particularly pretty...

Following the Atlanta Braves' three-game sweep at Nats Park, Washington dropped to 5-20 against their divisional foes so far this season. The .200 winning percentage is the worst by a team against their own division so far this season, with the 5-13 Arizona Diamondbacks the second-worst.

Against the rest of MLB, the Nationals are actually a relatively passable 18-22, but the NL East has beaten up on them so badly it leaves them among the worst teams in the league.
