If the Nats can beat the Marlins—the Miami Marlins, who haven’t been good since 2005—they’ll reach .500. It seems plausible; it seems reasonable. Then again, the last time this team had a .500 record was 11-11 on April 23rd, and it’s the Nationals we’re talking about here. Anything is possible.

The Nats are one game away from .500, though it nearly didn't get that far as Javy Guerra and Sean Doolittle almost blew a five-run lead.
