## Resource

The Washington Nationals are making waves this season, leading MLB in both runs scored and allowed through forty-eight games. Their young talent, like James Wood and CJ Abrams, are shining, but the pitching staff is struggling. This unusual stat line is rare, with only one other team achieving it in the past two decades. While the Nationals offense is impressive, their pitching issues could keep them at the top of the runs allowed column. Its an exciting baseball story, but whether this success is sustainable remains to be seen. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
