Nats lineup for Game 162
By Dan Kolko
The bulk of the Nationals' regulars are back in the starting lineup, while the two that started yesterday - Bryce Harper and Adam LaRoche - are taking a seat for today's regular season finale.
The Nats have a magic number of one to clinch the top seed in the National League, giving them home-field advantage through the playoffs and setting them up to play the wild card play-in winner.
If they win today against the Phillies or the Reds lose to the Cardinals tonight, the Nationals will get the No. 1 seed.
The Nats will send Edwin Jackson to the mound today in search of his 10th win, while Cliff Lee will start the finale for Philadelphia.
