## Resource

The Washington Nationals are heating up with a four-game over .500 record and a firm grip on the third NL Wild Card spot—no fluke, just fire offense led by James Wood’s power and CJ Abrams’ speed, plus relentless baserunning. But their playoff hopes hinge on fixing the pitching, where starters are leaking runs and not lasting. The front office’s move? Smart, cheap upgrades—like Cal Quantrill for innings and Luis Perales to bolster the bullpen. If they land the right arms before the deadline, D.C. could be back in October baseball.
