This is a 10* ASSASSIN on the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Nationals won't be defending their World Series win from 2019. Washington comes in at 12-21 with a little over three weeks left in the regular season.

The Phillies on the other hand are arguably the hottest team in MLB right now, but they're still only 16-15, meaning that they can ill afford to take the foot off the gas.

Philadelphia is finally getting production at the plate and its starters are also faring much better.

Max Scherzer (3-1, 3.86 ERA) and Zack Wheeler (3-0, 2.50) are essentially a was here, but the Nats' bullpen is exhausted, while the Phillies' pen is well rested.

The Nationals are injured and have nothing left to play for this season, while Philadelphia is playing with a chip on its shoulder.

All things considered, I think this is fantastic value on the hungrier and red hot home side!

Good luck, NP
