PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES @ WASHINGTON NATIONALS PICKS, EXPERT PREDICTIONS & BETTING TIPS
PHI Phillies Win Money Line
-115
Under 8.5 Game Totals
-105
Money Line Pick
Three games under .500, the Philadelphia Phillies have as good a chance as any team in the crowded National League East to finish in second and reach the playoffs. They turn to Aaron Nola, their most consistent starter over the past four seasons, looking to take a two-game advantage in their series against the Nationals. Nola is coming off his worst start of the season, giving up four runs in Atlanta while failing to complete the third inning. But he’s the type of pitcher who can bounce back after a rough go, and he’ll face a Nationals lineup he’s figured out better than most around the league. Adam Eaton, Trea Turner, and Juan Soto all have at least 20 career at-bats against Nola, and they’re all hitting under .200. Patrick Corbin has pitched well for Washington, but lost his last start after getting just two runs of support, and with his team facing Nola looking to bounce back, he shouldn’t expect much more. This is a tossup and should be a fun game, but the Phillies have the edge.
Over Under Pick
Just as Nola has controlled the best bats in the Washington lineup, Corbin has enjoyed some of the same success against Philadelphia’s biggest threats. Andrew McCutchen, J.T. Realmuto and Jean Segura all have batting averages below .200 against Corbin, and Bryce Harper has failed to drive in a run in 14 career at-bats, the first of which came as a National. Both pitchers are proven Major Leaguers who are looking for a solid outing after a disappointing start last time out, so expect an entertaining pitchers’ duel and take the under.
