“Tragic” Number Update

With the Nationals loss in Philadelphia last night, Washington locked themselves in at no worse than the 2nd overall selection in the 2009 draft. Additionally, with the win by Seattle over Oakland, the Nats moved within one half game of the 1st overall selection.

The Nats get the 1st overall selection if:

  • Washington loses both games to Philadelphia AND Seattle wins at least one of their remaining two games against Oakland
  • Washington loses one of their remaining two games to Philadelphia AND Seattle wins both of their games against Oakland
