NATS @ PHILLIES Scherzer pitches for Washington with a 16-6 record and a 2.13 ERA. He pitched 7 innings and allowed 2 hits and 2 runs in a loss to Philadelphia in his last start. He allowed a 2 run HR and that was the difference as Nola didn't allow any runs in their matchup. They go at it again but I like the Nats to come back as Philadelphia is slumping having lost 3 of their last 4 games and 7 of 10 overall including their last 3 meetings with Washington. The Nats on the other hand have won 2 in a row outscoring their last 2 opponents 20-3. This is about the cheapest price you will ever get on Scherzer so I will take advantage of it.

In his last start before going on the DL, he lasted just 4.2 innings and allowed 6 runs and 8 hits. He has now pitched less than 5 full innings in 3 straight starts which tells me he isn't healthy yet and isn't the same pitcher he was.

They are 2-7 in their last 9 road games against righties and are 9 games under .500 on the road this year as well as 2-6 in Nola's last 8 road games against a team with a winning record. Scherzer takes the mound for the Nats with a 16-5 record and a 2.11 ERA and is probably the favorite to win the Cy Young award. He has allowed 2 runs or less in his last 6 starts and over his last 4 pitched 26 innings allowing just 3 runs and 16 hits with 34 K's and 5 walks including his last 2 where he didn't allow any runs over 13 total innings.

PHILLIES @ NATS Eflin pitches for Philadelphia with a 9-4 record and a 3.70 ERA. He has allowed 3 runs or less in 13 of his 17 starts this year including a win over Washington when he allowed 2 runs and 6 hits back in June. He has been very good on the road allowing 3 runs or less in 7 of his 9 away games. He is having his best year as he had a 4-10 lifetime record in his first 2 seasons. He is 7-3 in night games and 3-3 on the road. In his last 2 losses, the Phillies were shut out in both games including a 2-0 loss on the road when he allowed 2 run and 5 hits in 6 innings. Strasburg takes the mound for Washington with a 6-7 record and a 3.90 ERA. This is his 1st start in a month since coming off the DL for the 2nd time this season. He lost his last 3 decisions and is just 2-5 at home with a 5.21 ERA and 3-5 with a 4.44 ERA in night games. Washington lost 2 of their last 3 and 6 of 9 overall and traded away some key players which to me sounds like they have all but put this disappointing season behind them. This line is too big considering the situation of both teams and a Nat pitcher whose health is also questionable. Take Philadelphia | |||||||
