Our Washington Nationals vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
The Phillies are the heavy favorite in this game; however, they look to be the best betting option. This simply goes back to how much of an advantage Philadelphia has with Sanchez on the mound. In June alone, Sanchez has made four starts and has allowed eight earned runs over 25.2 innings. Cavalli, on the other hand, has made four starts in June, having allowed 11 earned runs over 17.2 innings.
The Nationals may have the best offense in the league in terms of runs per game, but the Phillies’ advantage on the mound is too strong; therefore, our Washington Nationals vs Philadelphia Phillies prediction is: Philadelphia Phillies ML.
