The Washington Nationals will go for the sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies when they round out a 3-game set tonight at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies are in a tailspin and had better get back on track if they want to contend for the National League East title. Philadelphia will send the former Cy Young winner, Jake Arrieta, to the hill. Arrieta comes into tonight’s contest 9-9, with an ERA of 3.37 and a 1.22 WHIP. Gio González will tap the rubber for the Nats. He is 7-11, with a 4.35 ERA, and a 1.52 WHIP. Washington is just 1-7 in his last 8 starts overall and 0-8 in his last 8 road starts. Philly needs to win this game.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
