The Washington Nationals will take on the Philadelphia Phillies after losing yesterday. Josiah Gray will get the start for the Nationals. He is 6-5 with a 4.22 ERA this season. He is 1-1 with a 2.73 ERA this season while against the Phillies. He has pitched well on the road, going 4-0 with a 2.01 ERA in seven starts. Aaron Nola will get the nod for the Phillies. He is 5-5 with a 3.13 ERA this season. He is 2-1 with a 1.70 ERA against Washington this season. The Phillies put up 11 runs in the series opener. Gray has been a solid starter this season but at some point, he must turn it over to the Nats bullpen which has struggled all season. The Phillies have the better pitcher in this one and play well at home.

Play on Philadelphia minus 1.5 runs. This is a 6* play.
