Can't trust these last place Phillies today with an offense ranked 21st in runs, 25th in on base percentage, and 28th in slugging. They lost 11-0 here yesterday! The Phillies are 4-9 in their last 13 games as an underdog and 6-13 against the NL East. First place Washington is thinking playoffs with great balance, plenty of pitching, along with an offense that has moved up to 12th in baseball in runs scored. The Nationals will turn to Stephen Strasburg, who has posted a 1.93 ERA in three starts against the Phillies this season. The Nationals are 17-7 in their last 24 games as a home favorite and on a 15-7 run at home. The Phillies are also 3-10 in the last 13 meetings in Washington, so grab home field. Play Washington.
