This is a 6* play on the Washignton Nationals.

The visitors hand the ball to ace Max Scherzer (5-4, 4.05 ERA) who is coming off an outing to forget after giving up five runs off three hits over seven innings in a 6-2 loss to the Cards on Friday night. To be fair though, Scherzer looked very good in that game, as he'd go unscathed for six of those seven innings, before allowing a grand slam to Steve Piscotty. Scherzer owns a 3.77 ERA on the road and 3.70 ERA in all night games this season. The home side counters with the volatile Adam Morgan (1-3, 6.67) who remains in the Phillies' starting rotation out of necessity, he was most recently blasted for six runs off eight hits over four innings in a 6-2 loss to the Cubs on Friday. Morgan has now given up 15 runs and four dingers over his last three starts. Morgan is on his way back to Triple A shortly, making Scherzer and the NATIONALS worth the price of admission in this matchup.
