Philadelphia Phillies vs Washington Nationals Prediction
Give me Nola and the Phillies here. Nola sits with an ERA of 3.52 and in his last start against the Chicago Cubs he looked good. The Phillies offense wasn’t as good on Saturday but on Sunday they are going to have a huge game and they are going to get the job done. Look for the Nationals to score two runs or less, and the Phillies will get the job done. Back the Phillies on the run line to cash.
