Foz sez: Well, this is a hidden upset candidate. I think rosters wise, the Nationals/Expos come out 2nd best in just about every metric, but the Nationals can win if the stars are right. They have several players who can win you a game off their backs, in a seven game series, those add up. But I think the Big Red Machine moves on.
Prediction: Reds in 6
