Ho-hum — another NL East title in the books for the Nationals. This one was never in doubt, as the rest of the division continues to work through their various rebuilding processes (or in the case of the Mets, a laundry list of injuries to key players). The Nats are about as far under the radar as a team on track to win 100 games can be. Stephen Strasburg has been even better than Cy Young contender Max Scherzer since returning from the DL. They will give Corey Kluber and Carlos Carrasco a run for their money as best one-two punch in the playoffs.
