The Washington Nationals dropped two to the Rockies over the weekend, but a visit to Philadelphia tonight might be what they need to get straightened out. Tanner Roark will get the start for the Nationals. Roark is 13-7, with an ERA of 2.99, and is 2-0 with an ERA of 0.86 in 3 starts this year against Philadelphia. Jake Thompson will go for the Phillies. In his first 4 Major League starts, Thompson has struggled, posting a 1-3 record, with an ERA of 9.78, and has given up 21 runs in 19-1/3 innings. Washington has been dominating Philadelphia, winning the last 6 meetings and they are 8-1 in their last 9 in Philadelphia.
Tonight’s pick:
