Tonight's 5-1 victory over the Dodgers made the Nationals a perfect 5-0 on days the Capitals have had a playoff game. In these five wins the Nationals have outscored their opponents 31 - 9 and their starters have pitched 34.2 of 45 total innings (76%).
In the previous 5 games that have not fallen on a Capitals playoff game the Nationals are are just 1-4. During those games the Nationals have been outscored by their opponents 40-23 and their starters pitched only 18.1 of 45 total innings (40.2%).
Obviously the Nationals need the Capitals to push as many series as possible to 7 games so they have a chance of being .500 by the time Strasburg gets called up in June.
