Our Philadelphia Phillies vs Washington Nationals Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Phillies’ offense explodes again to power total to go OVER.
The Nationals and the Phillies combined for 12 runs per game over their last three meetings. Wednesday’s pitchers’ matchup will feature Nationals RHP Jake Irvin (3.13 ERA) and Phillies LHP Christopher Sanchez (3.42 ERA), both above-average starters. However, I believe the Phillies' offense will take off again in Game 2 with Trae Turner and Kyle Schwarber doing the most damage again. The total has gone OVER in 10 of Philadelphia's last 14 games. The total has also hit in 13 of Washington's last 16 games against an opponent in the National League East Division. Our betting prediction for the Washington Nationals vs. Philadelphia Phillies: Total Over 8.5 Runs.
Prediction:
