Offensive Remedy- Nationals Pitching

A dose of Washington Nationals pitching is exactly what the doctor ordered to cure the anemic Phillies offense. Prior to this weekend’s 4 game sweep, the Phillies had scored 29 runs and were 48-253 (.190 avg) over the past 8 games. However, this weekend they unloaded for 33 runs and went 49-151 (.325 avg). Are they as bad as the .190 batting average with 3.6 runs per game? No. Are they as good as the .325 batting average with 8.3 runs per game? No. They’re more like the .262 batting average with 5.8 runs per game team through 36 games that’s currently ranked 6th in the majors. That’s a damn good offense that will win you many games if you have adequate pitching, but that’s an entirely different dilemma story.~Carson
