A 9-game MLB slate is scheduled for Thursday, which will include a National League East matchup between the Washington Nationals and the Philadelphia Phillies. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Nationals and the Phillies.

To close out this series on Thursday, Philadelphia is scheduled to start Cristopher Sanchez, who has a record of 9-3 and an ERA of 1.80.

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.
