Nats Should Go West

With the Nats now struggling to keep pace with the Braves I noticed that their record in one-run games is 24-14. While still good, not long ago it stood at 22-7 and so they've recently gone 2-7. Since they have trouble scoring runs they also have played the most one-run games in the majors. With a pythagorean record of 47-51 I wouldn't expect them to be able to keep pace.

In other news the Padres have now lost 7 in a row which means that every team in the NL West has been outscored by their opponents.

WEST           W  L  PCT  GB  HOME  ROAD  RS  RA   STRK L10 
San Diego     50 49 .505 -   29-18 21-31 432 442 Lost 7 3-7 
Arizona       48 52 .480 2.5 25-28 23-24 438 526 Won 1  5-5 
LA Dodgers    44 54 .449 5.5 23-23 21-31 419 465 Lost 2 4-6 
San Francisco 42 55 .433   7 22-30 20-25 431 505 Lost 2 5-5 
Colorado      34 63 .351  15 24-23 10-40 419 542 Lost 2 3-7 

I doubt that's ever happened before. Good thing they play each other or this could be really ugly.
