Preview

Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals will play game 4 and the last of their 4-game series on Sunday at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Philadelphia Phillies are now 9-2 straight up Vs the Nationals in this season and 3-0 in this series.

Philadelphia Phillies 

Philadelphia Phillies are coming off a 11-5 win over the Nationals in game 3, Philadelphia are running hot at the moment, they are one of the best teams in form now as they have won 9 of their last 10 games including tough games Vs Atlanta Braves. Phillies are now 17-2 straight up in last 19 games Vs the Nationals so it have been a one side game in many of their recent clashes.  Philadelphia are the 7th in runs scored and 11th in runs allowed this season.

Probable pitcher:

Aaron Nola (7-8, 3.25 ERA) will be on the mound for the Phillies in game 4 on Sunday, Nola's last start was against Pittsburgh Pirates and he went 6 innings allowing 1 Earned run and had 8 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 8-2 win for the Phillies.

Washington Nationals 

Washington Nationals really wants to get done with this series as they have struggled quite a lot in this series losing all 3 games and can get swept tonight vs the Phillies. Corbin was on the mound in the last game and he allowed 6 Runs in the 1st inning only and that pretty much killed the game from the start and didn't give Washington any chance. Washington are 25th in runs scored and also 30th in runs allowed this season.

Probable pitcher:

Cory Abbott (0-0, 1.00 ERA) will be in the mound for the Nationals in game 4 on Sunday, Abbott's last start was against New York Mets and he went 5 innings allowing 0 earned runs and had 3 strikeouts in a game that ended as a 5-1 win for the Nationals.

Prediction

It's not a secret anymore that the Nationals are the easiest game for the Phillies all season. Philadelphia are 2-17 straight up last 19 games Vs the Nationals but the odds for Philadelphia ML and run line are too low so I can't bet them at this price, I like the Under in this game as I see this game ending with a low score Philly win so give me the Under here.

PICK: Total Under 8.5 runs (-105).
