  1. On a tangent So much hand-wringing about the Nats” season misses the main story: Their schedule went from absurdly soft in 2016-17 (MLB last and next-to-last in B-Ref”s strength of schedule) to neutral this year. You can see the difference in any number of opponent-W% splits, but the easiest is Nats vs. Atlanta and Philly: – 25-13 average for 2016-17; – 13-16 this year. Those teams averaged .428 W% the last 2 years, .553 this year. The Nats were, if not intentionally, nevertheless built to beat what they”d faced before. But they faced better. My rough estimate is a drop of 6 wins to date just from schedule strength. And at 70-58, they”d be right in the thick of it gluten sensitivity
