Nationals are back to .500 with strong fundamentals, and a win today could put them above .500 and best since 2018.
The 2018 Braves were forecasted to be largely irrelevant. They surprised everyone and pulled off a once-in-a-generation-for-a-franchise turnaround. Did that carry over into 2019? Well, not really - the team was projected to be better than average, but more of a fringy contender. Inertia is a thing. Only by 2021 was the team in "solid contender" territory, with any foundering seasons firmly in the rear-view mirror.
