Nationals At Mets This Weekend

Tonight at Citi Field, in the last series before the All-Star Game next Tuesday in San Diego, two teams concerned with that All-Star Game result, the Washington Nationals and New York Mets begin a 4 game series.

Four is an operative number here as the Nationals, whose lead easily could have been greater, lead the Mets by 4 games, just 3 in the loss column in the N.L. East

Of course with the presence of the wild card teams, finishing first in the division is not even close to as important as in the “win it or go home days.”
