All in all, a series split for the Washington Nationals against the Atlanta Braves wasn’t terrible.
The problem is that with the hole they find themselves in just over a third of the way through the 2021 season they can’t really settle for too many more “not terrible” series.
They need to start picking up more series wins, especially against teams in their division.
Luckily, they have another such series coming up this weekend against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Since taking two out of three against the Nationals in early May, things haven’t been going great for the Phillies.
