After 36 games, the Washington Nationals stand tied in last place of the National League East with the Marlins, but on the bright side, only three games out of first place. Despite the early COVID outbreak, and an injury that has kept Stephen Strasburg out for over a month, the Nationals remain right in the thick of things in the highly competitive division.
