The set-up: These teams are moving in opposite directions right now and I expect that trend to continue here. The Phillies came from behing to knock off the Nats 8-6 last night. The visitors hand the ball to Patrick Corbin (2-2, 3.82 ERA), who has done decently this season and who has a good track record vs. the Phillies in his career as well. Philadelphia goes with ace Aaron Nola (3-2, 3.00) who has also done decently this season, but who has a pedestrian 5-6, 4.12 ERA lifetime record vs. the Nats. Despite how well Corbin has done against the Nationals in the past, I still think that Nola is undervalued by a lot in this matchup.

The pick: Washington is a poor 1-6 in its last seven as an underdog and unfortunately for it, it will see no mercy from the .500 Phillies, who look to put the pedal to the metal over the next three weeks until the playoffs start: "It's go time," Rhys Hoskins said after last night's victory. "It's always good to be able to help the club win." This line should be a lot larger in my opinion.

The is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Philadelphia Phillies.
