N.L. East Update

Of course now that I am doing so far too early this 4th day of August, there will be twists in the opposite direction, but it is extremely likely the Dusty Baker managed Washington Nationals will bring at least a one eighth divisional crown to the nation’s capital this season.

Their current lead is 7 games over the Don “Seems to always find the losing dugout in the most important games,” Mattingly managed Miami Marlins and eight and a half over the New York Mets.

If Baker and the Nationals go on to finish first, I believe Baker would become the first manager to finish first, albeit one eighth not even one quarter titles, with four different teams/franchises.
