Washington Nationals vs Philadelphia Phillies: prediction for the MLB game
The Washington Nationals are set to host the Philadelphia Phillies in the MLB on Thursday night. What to expect from this game? Look out for our prediction below.
Command Analysis
Washington Nationals
USAThe Washington Nationals are having a terrible season. Dave Martinez's side is at 0.354, which is an utterly disappointing result. They are currently on a four-game losing streak and sit at the bottom of the National League standings. Before hosting the Phillies, the Nationals lost three straight games to the Atlanta Braves (5:9, 4:10, 2:8). The Nationals almost always lose to the Phillies, even at home, so this is going to be a tough match for the hosts.
Philadelphia Phillies
USAThe Philadelphia Phillies struggle to gain momentum, but so far they have been holding the 8th line in the National League, which allows them to qualify for the playoffs. Rob Thomson's team is currently at 0.508, and they hope to strengthen their position in the league by taking advantage of the Nationals' poor form. The Phillies come to Washington on the back of a victory over the Miami Marlins (3:2, 9:11, 3:1).
Trends
Ставка1st inning: draw

СтавкаTotal over 10.5 runs
In the last 5 head-to-head games in Washington, this bet won.
Tip and bets
The Nationals demonstrate poor quality baseball this season, and it will be extremely difficult for them to climb up from the bottom of the table. The hosts are simply weaker than their current opponent and have almost always lost to the Phillies in previous head-to-head games, both at home and away. The visiting team isn't in particularly impressive form, either, but they can use this series to bounce back. We predict a win for the Phillies.
Our prediction - handicap (-1.5) to Philadelphia Phillies
