Rain in the Sunshine State

The Washington Nationals have had a season of disappointments. At 22-54 the Nationals have the worst record in baseball by quite some distance. They have especially struggled this year against teams from the state of Florida. After the Nats 5-3 loss against the Marlins today, they have a combined record against the Marlins and Rays of 0-12! In 10 of those games the Nats have had the lead. In one series against the Marlins in DC, the Nats took the lead into the ninth in every game. In two of those games, the Nats had leads by 5 runs. The Nats still have 9 games to pick up a win against a team from Florida, but at the end of the year their record is sure to be a dismal against them.
