Cliff Lee (2-7) is no longer a dominant ace, allowing more hits than innings pitched this season. In his last start Lee continued his struggles at home this season as he is 0-5 with a 4.42 ERA in ten starts at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies offense is 20th in runs scored, 21st in on base percentage and 18th in slugging. The Phillies are 3-9 in Lees last 12 starts as a home favorite. Philadelphia has a losing record at home while the Nationals have the best road record in baseball because of that dominant starting pitching. They face Jordan Zimmermann (9-7, 2.54 ERA), one of their many talented arms. The Nationals are 24-10 in their last 34 overall and 10-3 in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a losing record. Play the Washington Nationals.
