Zack Wheeler allowed one run and four hits in seven innings against the Nats and leads the team with a 2.69 ERA, 78 strikeouts and 6 wins recorded for the Phillies.
Probable Pitcher:
Bailey Falter (0-2, 4.20 ERA) will take the mound in the 2nd game of the series for the Phillies. The Phillies plan to call up Falter from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start one game of Friday's doubleheader in Washington.
Washington Nationals

Josiah Gray leads the team with a 4.33 ERA, 69 strikeouts and 6 wins recorded for the Nationals.
Probable Pitcher:
Joan Adon (1-10, 6.95 ERA) will start for the Nats in the 2nd game of the series. The Nationals plan to call up Adon from Triple-A Rochester to start the first game of Friday's doubleheader with the Phillies. He'll be back with the Nationals after being relegated to Triple-A earlier this month after going 1-10 with a 6.95 ERA, 1.76 WHIP, and 44:35 K:BB in 55.2 innings over 12 starts.
BETTING TRENDS
Philadelphia are 9-0 SU in their last 9 games against Washington.
The total has gone OVER in 13 of Philadelphia's last 15 games on the road.
The total has gone OVER in 9 of Washington's last 9 games against Philadelphia.
Washington are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games at home.
Prediction
The Phillies destroyed the Nationals on Thursday and have won 12 of their last 14 games and scoring an average of 6 runs per game in their last 10 games. They have dominated the Nationals as they have won the last 9 head to head games and will face Joan Adon who has been awful this season. You can expect another blowout on this game as the Phillies offense is hot right now and the Nats bullpen is suffering. Take the over.
PICK: Over 10.5 (-110)
