Best Team in the MLB

The Washington Nationals were the best team in the MLB because they had a winning average of .574 which is above .500 and you do want to be above .500. The Nationals record was 93-69 (93 wins and 69 losses). They were in 2nd place in their division and they were 4 games back out of 1st place. They made it to the playoffs as a wild card team is a team that plays the other wild card team in a 1 game series the winner moves on and the loser goes home. You become a Wild card team if you have a good record but not the best record. So the Nationals beat the brewers and  moved to the next series and then the next series after that which is unusual for a wildcard team to get this far, so they end up winning the world series for the first time in franchise history. The best player on the team is Stephen Strasburg he is a pitcher and was World Series MVP. If the Nationals can keep up with his contract and keep him on the team they will be successful also possibly be champions again.
