The Nats upset the Phillies last night but I expect Philadelphia to bounce back here with Cole Hamels on the mound. Hamels has pitched some beauties of late. Against the Mets, Braves and Cardinals (including two road games), he gave up just 1 run and 3 walks while striking out 27 batters in 21 innings. It doesn't get any better than that. Philly is hitting well too averaging 6.4 per game over their last seven. Washington is averaging just 4.1. I just can't see the Nats winning two straight against this team by beating Hamels. Philadelphia here.
