In the second half of the season, the Nationals have proven they’re no longer the pushover that many expected coming into the campaign. Washington not only already has more wins than it did a year ago — but the Nationals have had the sixth-best record in MLB since the All-Star Break.
Two months ago, the San Diego Padres were reeling from a series loss to the lowly Washington Nationals. San Diego’s season had not gone as planned, and frustration was rising.
The Nationals are eight games back of the final Wild Card spot, whereas the Yankees sit nine games back in the American League. The Nationals are also making up for what they may lack in pure talent by finding other areas to exploit on the field. For example, Washington lacks power with Juan Soto and Bryce Harper long gone. But the Nationals have used their speed to their advantage: They have the third-most stolen bases since the All-Star break with 38. Abrams — one of the pieces acquired in the Soto trade with San Diego — accounts for 19 of those.
