Key Stats
Washington Nationals
Patrick Corbin will get the start for the Nationals in today’s game. Corbin is 0-0 with an 8.31 ERA and two strikeouts. CJ Abrams leads the team with a .333 batting average, two home runs, five RBIs, eight hits, and an OBP of .407.
Philadelphia Phillies
Aaron Nola will be on the mound for the Phillies today. Nola has started the season 0-1 with a 12.46 ERA and three strikeouts. Kyle Schwarber leads the team with a .280 batting average and seven hits. Bryce Harper has tallied six RBIs and three home runs, while Bryson Stott carries an OBP of .364.
Game Prediction
This Nationals team has not started the year well, and Corbin faces a Phillies lineup that can cause problems. While Nola is off to a bad start, this Washington offense isn’t that good, and the wily veteran should be able to put together a solid performance. The Phillies desperately need a win to keep up with the Braves, and they have the talent to make that happen today. I am rolling with Philadelphia to get things done on the road today.
Final Pick
Philadelphia Phillies ML (-192)
