The Nats have been strong against NL teams, but weak against the American League, despite playing some of the weakest AL teams. They're 15-15 against the NL East, 9-9 against the NL Central and 7-10 against the NL West.

After breaking his ankle and missing most of last season, Roger Bernadina has really come into his own in 2010. He wants to become the everyday right fielder, but isn't quite there yet.
When Stephen Strasburg doesn't have his best stuff, it's a good idea to work the pitch count, according to Jason Bay. But on days when he does, don't bother. His last start was his roughest to date, but he still found ways to correct himself, and likely would have continued to dominate had he not been pulled.
