CHC 9, WAS 8; Nationals eliminated

That game. Buh. Tough to watch; fun to watch; enraging, at least for this #neverDusty partisan who found his decisions on Scherzer infuriating. I don't like the Nationals generally, and generally I enjoy watching them fail and choke...except, somehow, for Harper, whose fratty resting-dickface attitude I respect for some reason; and for Ol' Husky Eye, who deserved better from his manager and from this season.

But once again the Nats are left in the afterburn of a division series. Decent points pick-ups on the way out, though...

Yuhan 1 and Crase have no active picks remaining and will not appear in future updates. Sorry, guys. 

I guess I could scotch another double handful of slates on the basis of picks shared with slates already ahead of them -- i.e., Bunting 1 and Stempel made out okay in the DSes, but their remaining picks are duplicated higher up the board, by slates with more players remaining -- but I'm-a let it play out for now. You just never know how those third starters are going to switch things up in the LCS.

The fight for the pennant starts tonight at 8 ET in Houston, Tanaka v. Keuchel.
