00:00Yesterday, we're in Washington for the second game of a two-game set, hoping to sweep the

00:09Nats in the nation's capital.

00:11It booked as a heavy road favorite.

00:14The Nats had other ideas.

00:16They went 5-1 over Atlanta to split this short two-game set.

00:20So now you look at the National League wildcard standings, and the New York Mets, the R.S.,

00:24a full game in front of Atlanta.

00:28What a game.

00:29This is why baseball is fantastic.

00:31How about you just roll reverse the night before?

00:33Ronaldo Lopez, oh, no, I'm hurt, only pitched one inning, oh, it looks like we can lose

00:36this game.

00:37You win it 12-0.

00:38You throw one of your top three pitchers on the mound yesterday, and Max Fried, you end

00:42up losing 5-1 to the Washington Nationals.

00:45And again, why this hits so hard is the Mets picking up that win and coming back from being

00:49no hit through eight innings and securing that victory, then scoreboard watch and watch

00:53the Atlanta Braves take that defeat yesterday.

00:55This is going to be such a fun thing to watch over the final three weeks, but it just goes

00:59to show you the Washington Nationals are dead and buried.

01:02They got smashed yesterday, the day before, and then you're looking at just an easy sweep

01:06here only to get beat 5-1.

01:08It's so mad.

01:09And also, what, minus 170, minus 180 prices started around that minus 160 number for the

01:13Braves.

01:14I thought the Braves would be the right player, finish off the sweep, lead the victory.

01:17They just drew dead yesterday.
