Philadelphia at Washington

We're getting a huge price here with the Phillies against Max Scherzer, who has been day-to-day with a calf injury after being hit by a liner. Scherzer has faced Philadelphia twice this season and allowed five runs on 13 hits in 12 2/3 innings. Jake Thompson will start for the fifth time this year and he comes off a good performance at Miami when he gave up just a run on three hits in six innings. The Phillies have fared well against some good pitching recently having won their last four games versus starters with a WHIP of less than 1.15. Washington hitters have a collective .244 batting average against Thompson. Take advantage of a huge underdog and play the Phillies.
