The Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies meet Monday in MLB action at Citizens Bank Park. The Nationals need a win to snap a four-game losing streak. The Phillies look for a win after splitting their last 10 games.

The Washington Nationals have scored eight runs in their last three games and four or more runs in three of their last six games. The Nationals have split their last six gams when scoring four or more runs. Trea Turner leads the Nationals with 120 hits and 49 RBI while Starlin Castro and Juan Soto have combined for 179 hits and 93 RBI. Joe Ross gets the ball, and he is 5-8 with a 4.02 ERA and 91 strikeouts this season. Ross is 2-1 with a 2.65 ERA and 28 strikeouts in his career against the Phillies.

The Philadelphia Phillies have scored 10 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last eight games. The Phillies have won four of their last six games when scoring four or more runs. Jean Segura leads the Phillies with 86 hits and 33 RBI while Rhys Hoskins and Bryce Harper have combined for 163 hits and 94 RBI. Spencer Howard gets the ball, and he is 0-2 with a 5.11 ERA and 29 strikeouts this season. Howard is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA and six strikeouts in his career against the Nationals.

The Nationals are 4-0 in their last 4 Monday games and 3-9 in their last 12 overall. The Phillies are 1-4 in their last 5 Monday games and 6-13 in their last 19 during game 1 of a series. The under is 3-0-1 in Nationals last 4 overall. The over is 13-3 in Phillies last 16 overall. The Nationals are 3-7 in the last 10 meetings in Philadelphia.

Joe Ross has been hit or miss this season, but he’s allowed just 10 earned runs in his last 39 innings. Spencer Howard doesn’t go deep into games and has been shaky at best as he continues to get his feet wet on the MLB stage. The Nationals offense is also starting to pick up with Soto leading the charge, while the Phillies offense underachieves more times than not. Give me the Nats and the plus money.
