 Entering this weekend's final series, Juan Soto has put up an OPS of 1.190, which would be the highest in a single season by a player 21 or younger in MLB history. Soto leads all of MLB in OPS -- he would also be the youngest player in MLB history to lead all players in OPS.

 The Mets are averaging 5.37 runs per game on the road this season, fifth best in MLB. However, they have just a 13-14 road record -- their 5.37 scoring average on the road would be their highest in a single season with a losing record.

 The Nationals won three of four against the Phillies in their last series, their first series win of at least four games since sweeping the Phillies last season (9/23 to 9/26). Washington has won three series in total this year -- only the Pirates have fewer series wins (2).

 Robinson Cano hit his 10th home run of the season on Tuesday against the Rays. He has hit at least 10 homers in all 16 of his MLB seasons, the fourth-longest streak by a middle infielder in MLB history.

 Juan Soto and Trea Turner lead all qualified teammate duos in combined batting average this year (.344). Their .344 AVG is on pace to be the highest by any qualified NL duo since the 2003 Cardinals with Albert Pujols and Edgar Renteria (.345 combined).

 The Mets could finish with four left-handed hitters hitting .300 or better -- Jeff McNeil (.329), Michael Conforto (.322), Dominic Smith (.314) and Robinson Cano (.312). The last team with four qualified lefties hitting .300+ was the 1994 Yankees. (Cano needs 18 more plate appearances to qualify).

HP - Scheurwater, 1B - Valentine, 2B - Carapazza, 3B - West

The Washington Nationals will be looking to rebound following a tough loss in the series finale to the Philadelphia Phillies when they open the final series of the season Thursday at home against the New York Mets.
The Nationals won three of four against the Phillies but were crushed 12-3 on Wednesday. Juan Soto's two-run home run in the ninth was a rare bright spot for Washington, which fell to 23-33.
