Washington at Philadelphia

March 31, 2026
img6:40 PM Eastern

Washington is tied with Milwaukee for the most runs scored in the majors. They're also No. 1 in slugging, after a 13-2 win over Philadelphia yesterday as a +145 dog. Reliever P.J. Poulin (3.65 ERA in 2025) will throw a few innings and could give way to Zack Littell, who was very good with Tampa Bay in 2024 and 2025, with ERAs of 3.63 and 3.58. The Nationals' bullpen has a 3.31 ERA, while Philadelphia's pen has been terrible (7.04 ERA). The Phillies have lost three in a row as chalk of -150, -10, and -175. 22-year-old Andrew Painter makes his first major league appearance, so back the hot dog. Play Washington.
