Hot off a 13-2 win in Game 1, the Washington Nationals will attempt to dominate the Philadelphia Phillies for the second straight day.
Momentum: The Philadelphia Phillies (1-3) have dropped their last three games after a promising opening day win over the Texas Rangers, 5-3. On the other hand, the Nationals have scored back-to-back wins over the Chicago Cubs 6-3 and the Phillies 13-2 to improve to 3-1 in the season.
The Matchup: The Phillies are 12-4 SU in their last 16 games when playing at home against Washington. Nats’ lefty PJ Poulin is set to make his first start after seeing action as a relief pitcher in two games. He will duke it out with the Phillies’ right-handed pitcher Andrew Painter, who is set to make his big league debut on Tuesday.
Hot on the Board: The Nats are +159 road underdogs in this game, while the Phillies are the clear-cut favorites at -194. The total has been listed at over/under 9.5 runs.

Our Philadelphia Phillies vs Washington Nationals Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Nats top the Phillies on the road, 4-2
Best Bet: Back the Nationals to pull off another win on the road. Washington has turned some heads with their electric offense through their first four games of this season. The Nats are batting .303 and averaging 7.8 runs per game. The Nats have opted to start relief pitcher PJ Poulin in an attempt to gauge how the Phillies new pitcher, Andrew Painter, would fare in his first MLB start. The Phillies, who are only batting .191 in four games, are also struggling on the mound with a 6.57 ERA (7.63 ERA from the bullpen).
Secondary Pick: Over 9.5 runs. The Nationals are torching their opponents with their explosive offense, and I expect this terrific showing at the plate to continue against the Phillies’ listless pitching. The total has gone OVER in 5 of Washington's last 7 games and 4 of Philadelphia's last 6 games.
Our betting prediction for the Washington Nationals vs. the Philadelphia Phillies: The Nationals will win.
