The Phillies take on the Nationals in Game 2 of their NL East series after knocking off Washington in Game 1 on Monday.
Tuesday's matchup will see Philadelphia ace Zack Wheeler take the mound, but even so, signals are still pointing to an all-around explosive offensive performance on Tuesday evening.
In Monday's 7-5 Phillies win, catcher J.T. Realmuto chipped in two hits and two RBI, and Philadelphia got after Washington for 12 hits.
The Nationals have an average staff and following their trade of Max Scherzer, they lack a clear ace to carry the innings load. This is one of many reasons to expect Washington to get on the scoreboard early and often.
While the Nationals' pitching staff is looking quite lackluster, their offense—which also suffered as a result of the MLB trade deadline—is still capable of producing big-time. The Nationals are still in the top-10 in the MLB in batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage.
The Phillies are 54-49-2 (over/under/push) against the total this season and have hit the over in three of their last five matchups. Washington has gone over in four of their last five games, so essentially, all signs are pointing to the over on Tuesday night. Let's take a closer look in our latest PRO Report.
