Mitch McConnell made a bold prediction about the Washington Nationals
Business Insider
During a Tuesday interview with Business Insider to promote his newly released memoir, "The Long Game,"in which he describes his affinity for baseball and the Nationals, the Senate majority leader predicted one of the team's pitchers would continue an early-season streak of dominance.
"I will predict that Stephen Strasburg will win the Cy Young," McConnell said.
The Cy Young is awarded to the pitcher voted the best in each league by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Strasburg currently has the third-highest odds to win the award, per OddsShark, after the Los Angeles Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw and Chicago Cubs' Jake Arrieta, who won the award last season.

McConnell also said he believes the Nationals, who own a three-game lead over the New York Mets for first place in their division, will make the postseason.
"I think they need to learn how to play in the postseason," he said. "They've been good off and on for the last few years, but they've never been able to produce in the playoffs."
