This will be Phillies starting pitcher Michaerl Lorenzen’s first start since his no-hitter against this same Nationals team back on August 9th. Lorenzen threw 124 pitches in that game, so the Phillies gave him a few extra days of rest. On the Nationals side of this starting pitching matchup is Joan Adon. The 25 year old righty has pitched well in his two starts this season. However, those games were against the Athletics and Reds. Adon has a 5.14 ERA and 4.90 FIP in 14 total innings pitched this season. Behind Adon is one of the worst bullpens in the MLB. We like the Phillies advantage in the starting pitching matchup, the bullpen, and offensively. Our wager is a half unit on the Phillies -1.5 run line.
