Philadelphia has won six of the seven meetings this season, including a 13-3 rout on Thursday when Weston Wilson tripled and singled in a five-run fourth on his way to hitting for the cycle. The Phillies improved to 40-22 at home, and Washington dropped to 27-35 on the road. The Nationals have lost five of eight and will face Aaron Nola, 11-6 with a 1.15 WHIP. The due factor is in his favor, as he has pitched in some hard luck lately. Nola has faced the Nationals twice this season and allowed only two earned runs in 12 2/3 innings. The Phillies are 10-2 in Nola's past 12 starts as a favorite of -201 or greater, and they have won six of his past seven Friday starts. Patrick Corbin is 2-12 with a 5.98 ERA and a 1.56 WHIP for Washington, which has lost three of his past four starts. Take the Phillies as a Max Play.
