WSH 7, LAD 3; Nationals advance

I...

It just...

Good for Howie Kendrick?

...I started to get a bad feeling with that weird, scary Suzuki HBP. When Dodgers Twitter clenched itself into a raisin at the entrance of Kershaw, the feeling grew stronger. And now here we all are. This hasn't befallen a BPP in quite some time, and I hope Houston hangs on or it's going to be rah-ther dull from here on out.

But we won't know what's happening in the AL until tonight. For now, the points, of which there were a few, at least...

Bellinger 1
Hernandez 5
Muncy 4
Pederson 3

LVP for this series, by a whisker, was Seager, although Belli wasn't much more help. Turner and Muncy tied for MVP honors, in the pool. Shane Victorino award is probably Rendon.

Leaving us:
Bellinger
Hernandez
Muncy
Pederson
Seager
Turner

"Oof." ...Yep.

Here's the money, provisionally:

42 SDB 2
33 Stempel
31 Fell 2, Bauer 1

Everyone else after the jump!



30 Cayenne

28 Cameron 2, Arbour 2
25 Reid 1, DGB
24 Yuhan 2, Fell 1, Winklepleck

23 Bauer 2, the Shotwells
21 Brady, Reid 2
20 SDB 1, Arbour 1, Tormey

19 Dunn & Lund, Attorneys at Law
17 Crase, Cameron 1, Yuhan 1

But this was not the certain doom I'd predicted slates-wise, as we only lost two, Arbour 2 and Shotwell 2. Handful of lame-duck slates with only dupe pick left, but it's better than nothing...

...and if Houston doesn't pull this out, we're going to have a whole lot more nothing in the LCSes, but let's try not to worry about that until 7:07 ET tonight, when it's Glasnow v. Cole in that Game 5. Very best of luck to everyone remaining!
