The Washington Nationals have a 41-40 record this season and are sitting in the 4th place of the NL East. They have a 17-24 home record and are coming off a 4-5 home defeat against the Phillies. They will face the Orioles and the Red Sox next.

Cade Cavalli (R) is the projected starting pitcher for the Nationals, and he has a 4-4 record, 4.07 ERA and 1.46 WHIP.

The Phillies are 6-2 in their last 8 meetings against the Nationals and are 3-1 in their last 4 visits in Washington.
In this Phillies vs Nationals Prediction, the Phillies are coming as -180 road favorites. I like the Phillies in this one with Cristopher Sanchez on the mound, who has been elite this season and a far better option than Cade Cavalli. The Phillies have been playing good baseball and are 4-1 in their last 5 games, they have a better bullpen and are the second-best team against right-handed pitching in the last 10 days. Take the Phillies to win.
