Washington Nationals Face Tall Task as Philadelphia Phillies Roll into D.C.

Washington continues to lose games, losing yet another series. The schedule won’t get any easier as they are facing arguably the most dangerous team in the MLB, the Philadelphia Phillies. The division rivals have played two series against each other and Philadelphia has won both series and is 4-2 against Washington.

Philadelphia is one of the most complete teams in all of baseball. With Cy Young contenders Cristopher Sanchez and Zach Wheeler at the top of the rotation, and newly acquired Jhoan Duran at the end of the bullpen closing games, this team is built to win the World Series.

A More Offensive Series Expected for Phillies in D.C.

The Phillies jump from one series against an under-heavy team to a four-game set with the Nationals, who just had 39 total runs scored in a midweek series with the Royals.

Scoring should be the theme of Thursday’s series opener at Nationals Park.

Not only are the Nats bleeding runs at the moment, but at least nine runs were scored in five of the last six games started by Jesus Luzardo.

The Over/Under sits at 8.5 at bet365. I think the Phillies might get to that number on their own if they get the Nats on a really bad night. After all, this is a Washington team that allowed three double-digit run totals in its last home stand against Milwaukee and the Athletics. The Nats allowed at least six runs in all five of their losses during that last home stand.
