Prediction
The Phillies continue to stay hot and have won 11 of their last 13 games and scoring an average of 5.7 runs per game in their last 10 games. They have dominated the Nationals as they have won the last 8 head to head games and will face Patrick Corbin who has been very inconsistent this season.
