4% NATS/PHILLIES MLB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY
(MLB) Nationals (WAS) vs. Phillies (PHI),
Total: 9.00 | -118.00 Over
Result: Loss
The Washington Nationals and the Philadelphia Phillies combined for 16 runs in the opener of this series on Thursday, and I think we'll see another high-scoring affair in Game 2 Friday night.

Nats left-hander Patrick Corbin has been lit up through his last three starts, with 18 runs allowed over 13 innings of work. Phillies righty Aaron Nola has not been particularly sharp in recent starts either, with nine runs allowed through 16 2/3 frames.

The Phillies are trying to work out of a slump and have scored 22 runs and 30 hits over their last two games. They need to keep pressing and might cover this total by themselves, but while Phillies RL is an interesting bet I think the over offers more value.
