And now the Nats get Scherzer tomorrow.

But the Nats are still out of it.

1.5 back of the Braves, yes. But there are other teams between them and the WC. Absolutely not saying 4.5 is insurmountable. And hell, this Nats team could get the WC and go on a magical run through the postseason. It's hardly unheard of. Just saying there are more teams to jump than just the Braves.
