The second half of April was much better for the Nationals. Since beating the Rockies at altitude, they've competed well and have been a stumbling block for big teams. The Nats had already won the series against the Dodgers, also defeated the Orioles, and split a four-game series 2-2 against the unstoppable Mets. They now embark on a six-game road series, beginning with a three-game series in Philadelphia.

Of course, the Phillies will be favorites at -180 when Wheeler starts for the Phillies on Tuesday and Gore for the Nationals.

Gore influenced each of his five starts in 2025, earning a decision in all of them and posting a 2-3 record. One of those losses was precisely against the Phillies in their series in DC, where there was also a Gore-Wheeler duel, both pitched exactly 6 innings in a game that the Phillies won on the road 3-7, starting as favorites at -145 odds.

Our Philadelphia Phillies vs Washington Nationals Prediction

Gore has pitched exactly 6 innings in his last 4 starts, almost always approaching 100 pitches, and so far has not had a start where he allowed 2 or more home runs. It's precisely the Phillies who, surprisingly, aren't hitting as many home runs as they usually do, being the sixth in the MLB with the fewest. At least Wheeler remains a strikeout machine for them, averaging 8.4 in his last 6 outings. Our prediction for Nationals vs Phillies is: Under 8.5 runs.

Prediction:

 

Under 8.5
