I think you could easily hedge out here at the allstar break and profit good.
Odds seem low to me.

GL if you are taking that bet LB.

I'm gonna get some at +1500 I think, and maybe some +3500 to win WS. Good, not just solid rotation, with Lannan as their 6th guy right now. Really good pen. A lineup that has fantasy nerds drooling saying how great of value there is everywhere. Defense won't be good though. Phillies will be dealing with injuries all year, Atlanta can't hit, Marlins are a big mystery, and the Mets have no shot. NL Central down this year, West a bit down as well. Should be 2 teams coming out of the East this year.
Probable? No. Value? IMO absolutely.

i love this team. said it,and will say it again. to me Starsburgh is the best pitcher in the majors, and is only going to get more dominate in time. never seen such nasty stuff from a starter, I love watching this guy pitch. the movement, location, velocity, to perfection.
Zimmerman very under-rated because of how good SS is but he is a top of the line guy. Gio Gonzo, is a top of the line guy, not an ace but still a great pitcher to get you 200 ip and a mid/low 3 era. Dewitller, anther young pitcher the nats have who so far has proven hes got some good stuff, have not seen enough of him yet. then jackson as your 5th guy, is okay. nothing special, but he will give you 200ip.
their bullpen once it gets healthy will be fine. Storen is on the dl right now it hurts them.
i think you see them trading at the deadline to get some fire power. bryce harper should be up in a month.

are you forgetting the same team that won 102 games last yr is still in their division? once utley and howard get back, the fun ends for washington.. the better hope philly drops way below .500 until then, which isnt going to happen with that staff

Tough division. I can see 4 of the 5 teams finishing above .500. Nats won't even win the division.

best pitcher in the majors? The guy has pitched under 20 games in his mlb career. I was lucky enough to be in d.c. for his debut. (unfortunately had tickets to the day after he played )The buzz about the guy was insane. I tried buying a shirt for the girl i was seeing at the time, and it was impossible, mlb.com was even sold out. No place in d.c. had his shirt in stock. Nobody even knew who he was 2 months later. The guy was a huge let down, with all his injuries.

1st place NATS !!!!
Jordan Zimmermann extended Washington’s streak of dominant starts, and Danny Espinosa homered for the second straight game Saturday night, leading the Nationals to a 2-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

Most likely not but baseball is a long season and they are doing a somewhat decent job getting through this time without Utley and Howard. Problem is that even when those two come back, I don't think it will make a big enough difference. Same old problems for years, can't manufacture runs and drive guys in from scoring position.
By the way, I think Halladay is on the downside.
