When the Washington Nationals are able to put up a crooked number or two, they win games. It really has been as simple as that.
In 25 of their 46 games so far this season, the Nationals have scored two runs or less, but have won just two of those games. When they score four runs or less, they’re 4-33, the worst record in the league when scoring four runs or less.
The hit-and-miss offense though made a strong impression this past weekend against the Cincinnati Reds — it should be said that the Reds have the worst ERA in the majors, so a lot of offenses will appear to have strong series against them this season.
