The Washington Nationals begin a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday at Citizens Bank Park. Washington currently holds a five-game lead over the Atlanta Braves in the NL East and their magic number (the combination of Washington wins and Atlanta losses it would take to secure the Eastern Division title) is five. If the Nationals sweep the Phillies and Atlanta gets swept by the Miami Marlins (unlikely, but just go with it here), this race could be over by Thursday.
