By Sean Paul

I definitely want to fade Nats starter Mitchell Parker. However, laying -176 juice just isn't worth recommending for me, but I think the Phillies will win, so feel free to take that if you don't mind the juice.

I'm rolling with Philadelphia -1.5 at -110 and would play it to -125.

I think the Phillies cruise to an easy win on Sunday, as Parker allows 5+ runs again, while Aaron Nola gets on track in his first outing since coming back from the IL.

Pick: Phillies -1.5 (-110)
