Washington Nationals vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

I might try the Nationals in this one. Irvin needs a good bounce-back after five earned in 4.0 innings versus the Cubs his last time up, though. Prior to that Irvin had two earned in 13.1 innings over two starts, though. As for Nola, he’s 1-0 with three earned in 13.0 innings over his last pair.

On Saturday the Nats got 6.0 innings, three hits, one walk, nine Ks and zero earned from starter MacKenzie Gore. Joey Gallo and James Wood each had homers, accounting for five RBI. I like Washington to keep it going Sunday.
