Nationals are going to be a great underdog betting play this season. Florida honestly has like 3 or 4 guys in the rotation that could be #1's and the offense is much improved. I wouldn't look at this as the Nationals struggling as much as Florida showing they are amongst the best.
My breakfast group contains an ex Air Force Officer who worked in Wahington DC. He is a huge Nationals fan and keeps me updated on their games. They did win some games last year and maybe they can use this to build on and have a decent season.
