Last Week's Ranking: Not Ranked

Outlook: The Nationals head into the fourth week of the season on a six-game winning streak and are 8-2 in their last ten games. The Nationals have been road warriors with five of those six wins happening on the road. After a slow start, Washington enters our rankings for the first time this season. They took series against the Braves and Mets. Stephen Strasburg is off to a good start going 2-0 with 29 strikeouts. Bryce Harper has been absolutely crushing the ball. He's hitting .393 with seven home runs, 20 RBI and 51 total bases. They go on the road for a four-game series against the Rockies then host the Mets to close out the week. (Getty)
