img6:45 PM Eastern

Philadelphia plays its eighth consecutive road game. They're looking road-weary, losing three in a row, scoring a total of three runs after losing the opener of this series, 3-2. Zack Wheeler's ERA is over a full run higher on the road (3.24) than at home (2.19). The Phillies are 0-4 in his last four road starts, losing as favorites of -120, -135, -175, and -150. Washington is on a 5-4 run, winning as underdogs of +120, +140, +135, +140, and +165. The Nationals chose not to trade their best pitcher, MacKenzie Gore, who has 158 strikeouts in 132 innings. He's faced Philadelphia twice this season and has been terrific with 19 Ks and no walks in 12 innings for a 2.25 ERA. Play Washington.
