MLB Roundup 10/12: Aníbal Sánchez leads Nationals to Game One win

On paper, at least in my eyes, the NLCS is a lopsided affair. To be fair, I said the same about the Cardinals-Braves NLDS, and the team I thought it was lopsided in favor of is now sitting at home watching. The Nationals look like a much better team on paper, though, and they took the first game of this series on the road. What’s even more amazing is that they did it behind the worst starting pitcher they’ll have in this series. Old friend Aníbal Sánchez is Washington’s number four starter, but he didn’t look like one on Friday.
