Ok, I’ll admit to being (as one commenter said recently) the “Eeyore” of Nationals fans.\u00a0 I was scared of Atlanta and thought we would struggle to beat them in a short series starting on their turf.\u00a0 I posted my baseball predictions and the two teams I thought would make the series both lost under sometimes interesting circumstances<\/a>.\u00a0 The unbeatable ace Kris Medlen<\/strong> got beat, losing a start for the Braves for the first time in 24 times (not that he really pitched badly; I’ll take a 6+ inning, 3 hit, 0 walk performance every day of the week.\u00a0 Think about how difficult it is to give up 5 runs on 3 hits…).\u00a0 So perhaps I’ll understand if you don’t really want to trust my opinion on predicting the divisional series.<\/p>\n

Anyway.\u00a0 So the Nats are traveling to St. Louis to start the NLDS.\u00a0 If you’re looking for a guess as to who has the advantage by looking at the two meetings between the teams this year, you may find definitive proof wanting.<\/p>\n
