Our Washington Nationals vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
The Difference Maker: Christopher Sanchez has won his last three starts against the Nationals. Although he gave up 6 runs in his last start against the Houston Astros, the Phillies still hacked out an 11-7 win because of their prolific offense.
What to Expect: Sanchez powers the Phillies to another convincing win over the Nats. Philadelphia has won by two or more runs over the Nationals in 4 of their last 5 matchups. Also, expect the Phillies hitters to put pressure on Nats lefty Jackson Kent, who surrendered five runs in his last start.
Fearless Forecast: The Phillies 7, the Nats 2
Our betting prediction for the Washington Nationals vs. the Philadelphia Phillies: The Phillies -1.5 Runs
