The Nationals are coming on like gangbusters, have a 2 1/2-game lead in the wild card race and a 97.1% chance to make the playoffs.
Key series:
Washington just has to play defense in the Wild Card standings, but the Nationals haven’t abandoned NL East bragging rights just yet.
Taking at least three of those four games in Atlanta (Sept. 5-8 at ATL) could make the Braves start to sweat.
