The Philadelphia Phillies will try to get back on the right side of the scoreboard today when they face the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park in Washington D.C. in Game Two of a four-game series. Fans can follow the action once the game gets underway at 6:45 p.m. EST.
Washington took Game One of the series Thursday night, 3-2. Brad Lord pitched six solid innings for the Nationals, giving up seven hits and two earned runs, but the Nats were down 2-1 when he left the game. But a pair of runs in the bottom of the seventh gave Washington the lead and ended the scoring.
Philadelphia will turn to Zack Wheeler to try to bring their current three-game losing streak to an end. Wheeler has gone 10-5 in 23 starts with a 2.68 ERA, .93 WHIP, and .197 OBA. However, on the road, he’s 4-3 in 11 starts with a 3.24 ERA and .202 OBA. He’ll face off with Nationals starter Mackenzie Gore. Gore is 5-12 in 24 starts with a 4.09 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and .257 OBA. But he has been at his worst when pitching at home, going 2-6 in 10 starts with a 4.80 ERA and .250 OBA.

Our Philadelphia Phillies vs Washington Nationals Prediction
Philly has a definite pitching advantage, but that may not matter much if the lineup can’t score (.222 with 23 runs in seven games over the last week). Washington, on the other hand, has been hitting .271 with 32 runs in seven games. I’d lean towards picking Philadelphia to win because they are the better team, but I can’t say that with any confidence. But I do feel confident in saying it will be a low-scoring game.
