Can the Nationals make the playoffs?

     The Nationals are 8-2 in their last ten games and have pushed to 6.5 games back of the NL Wild Card behind only the Diamondbacks and Reds. The Nats can thank Jayson Werth for igniting their offense. Werth is second in the National League among outfielders in OPS (at least 350 at bats) and has 57 total bases in the last month.

     It may be a long shot, but the Nationals can pull things together and take that second Wild Card spot... it's possible.

Joe Mauer Makes behind-the-back grab on a Foul Ball
