The Philadelphia Phillies set sight on a fifth consecutive win on Sunday in Game 4 of their series with the Washington Nationals at the Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies have solidified their position at the top spot of the National League East by capturing four straight wins. Philadelphia has also gone 6-4 over their last 10 games, averaging 5.5 runs on a .278 batting average. At 73-50, the Phillies are head and shoulder above the rest in their division, and it would take a monumental collapse for them not to finish with the best record in their division. The Nationals have dropped four consecutive games and five of their last six. The series of losses have buried them further to the bottom of the NL East. With a 55-69 record, only the Miami Marlins have the worse record than them in their division.
