One of the main reasons behind the Washington Nationals success so far this season has been their starting rotation. With Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg leading the way, the Nats have one of the best rotations in baseball right now.
Their starters’ ERA leads the National League with 2.91 and trails only the Houston Astros’ 2.24 for the MLB lead. But that isn’t the only stat that the Astros are pipping them to for the league lead.
They also sit second in behind Houston in pitching wins with 19 compared to 21 for the Astros.
