Washington at Philadelphia

Philadelphia had won five of six games before last night's 9-1 loss at Washington and now the Phillies face Max Scherzer, who has had the luxury of facing the Atlanta Braves his first two starts. Scherzer allowed four runs and six hits in six innings on Monday and his current ERA is 4.15. Aaron Nola has not walked a batter in 14 innings this season and the right-hander has 17 strikeouts in 14 innings. Nola gave up four runs in a 4-3 loss to San Diego on Monday. The due factors are in favor of Nola and against Scherzer in this matchup. Take advantage of the big underdog value and play the Phillies.
