Why The Nationals Will Win The NL East In 2016
While the Nationals never lived up to their preseason hype in 2015, they might still be one of the best teams in baseball next year.
The Nationals were supposed to win the World Series this year. They were coming of a 96-win season, were loaded with all-star talent in the middle of the lineup, and had just added Max Scherzer to what had been the best rotation in baseball in 2014. They were an unstoppable juggernaut in the weakest division in baseball. No one was picking against them.
