Washington at Philadelphia

Philadelphia has won five of seven to solidify its lead in the NL East, although the Phillies did lose 5-4 last night when the Nationals scored two runs in the ninth. The Phillies are 17-4 in their past 21 games after allowing at least five runs in their previous game, and they have won four straight against left-handed starters. Washington has lost five in a row when Mitchell Parker starts versus teams that allowed five or more runs in their previous game. Parker has given up 23 runs (22 earned) in his past four outings in only 16 innings pitched. That is the reason for the high posted total for this game. The UNDER is 5-0 when Aaron Nola starts the second game of a series, and he is 5-0 UNDER with five days' rest. Philadelphia has gone UNDER 11 of 16 against National League opponents. Nola had a rough outing against the Nationals in his first game back since May, but look for him to settle down in the rematch. Take the Phillies and the UNDER.
