Nationals vs. Phillies Prediction for MLB Friday
We start things off with an NL East clash between the Nationals and Phillies. Philadelphia is heavily favored in the series opener.
Friday's first model pick is surprisingly on the Nationals moneyline (+155).
Tonight, Washington is a match for our director of research Evan Abrams' "Division Momentum: Edge After Blowout" trend.
This system backs teams in regular-season division games coming off a dominant win over a divisional opponent, leveraging momentum and familiarity in rivalry spots. Washington just beat the Mets last night, 9-3.
By focusing on teams with win percentages between 16% and 75%, it avoids both extreme outliers and market darlings. It also targets games where teams are priced between -135 and +290, and have just completed a win by 6+ runs (just like the Nationals).
Layering in a moderate home/away streak
