it would be good for the nationals to close it out sooner.
they need their starting pitching rested and ready as well as a bullpen that hasnt been used much. even though their bullpen is below average they will need everyone healthy in hopes of winning it all.
best case scenario for them is scherzer, strasburg, corbin and would be lucky if the houston series goes a little longer and forces Verlander to pitch in DC as opposed to Grienke or Cole who have experience hitting in the national league. the weather may cause the houston series to play 3 days in a row, may or may not be a factor but by the third game someones bullpen is likely overused.
