The Philadelphia Phillies are playing against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. The Philadelphia Phillies and the Washington Nationals still have not decided who they are throwing in game 2 of this doubleheader. The Phillies are 8th in the MLB in total offense and the Nationals are 5th in the MLB in total offense.

The Philadelphia Phillies are having a decent season, going 27-26 on the year. The Phillies have been hitting the ball well and just need pitching to step up If they want to do well against the Nationals, their pitching has to be great. The Phillies are led by short stop, Didi Gregorius. Gregorius is batting .289 this year, to go along with 9 HR and 35 RBIs. Gregorius leads the Philadelphia Phillies in RBIs and batting average this year.

The Washington Nationals are having a below average season, going 20-32 this year. The Washington Nationals are having a hard time getting their bullpen to play well. The Nationals will look to get back on track against a talented Phillies team. The Nationals are led by left fielder, Juan Soto. Soto is batting .353, to go along with 11 HR and 32 RBIs. Soto is leading the Nationals in homeruns and batting average this year.

In this matchup I like the Philadelphia Phillies to win on the over. Both teams are great offensively, so the better bet in this game is on the over. The Washington Nationals have been playing good as of late and is 5th in the MLB in total offense. The over has hit in 55 out of both teams combined 105 games. Final score prediction, the Philadelphia Phillies will win on the over 6-5.
