Here are our up-to-date Nationals vs Phillies betting analysis:

Patrick Corbin will get the start for the Washington Nationals. Corbin has made 22 starts for the Nationals. On the season, he is 7-11 and holds a 5.03 earned run average. Corbin went 6.1 innings in his last start at Cincinnati and allowed four hits and three runs.

The 34-year-old has allowed 29 total runs over his last eight starts. The Washington Nationals odds have been an underdog in each of his last 13 starts.

In the second game of the doubleheader on Tuesday, slugger Joey Meneses clubbed two home runs and drove in three runs. The slugger leads Washington in MLB Player Stats with a .280 batting average, with 11 home runs and a team-leading 63 runs batted in. The 31-year-old from Mexico has been hot since the All-Star Break with 5 home runs.

The Nationals will play a spoiler role as they finish this series in Philadelphia, and then host Oakland for three games. After that, the Red Sox, Phillies, Yankees, Marlins, and Blue Jays will wrap up the rest of the August schedule for Washington.

Aaron Nola gets the baseball for the Philadelphia Phillies. Nola struggled in his last start back on August 4th against the Royals. Nola lasted 5.1 innings, allowing eight hits and five earned runs while striking out eight batters. Aaron Nola has made 22 starts on the season and is 9-8 with a 4.58 earned run average. This will come after the Lorenzen no-hitter, saving the Phillies bullpen for the entire game. Lorenzen threw 124 pitches in the game and struck out just 5.

The Philadelphia Phillies’ roster has some big-time power on the offensive side. Those guys came through on Wednesday, with Bryce Harper doubling and Nick Castellanos hitting a home run in the first inning of the win. The home run for Castellanos was his 18th of the season.

It was Harper’s 38th RBI, in just a portion of the season. Castellanos later his 19th of the season as well. Weston Wilson hit his first home run in the second inning for Philadelphia.

When looking at the Philadelphia Phillies MLB Schedule after this series, the Minnesota Twins come to town. Following that, the Phillies are at Toronto for two games and Washington for three games.

The Philadelphia Phillies are going to win this game. The only question is, by how many? The Phillies have shown signs of struggling before, and that’s what we are afraid of here. Despite that, though, they find a way to scratch across run after run.
