The Washington Nationals will aim to sweep their weekday series with the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday evening. Citizens Bank Park has been a home away from home for the Nats with wins in seven of their past eight appearances in Philly.
- The UNDER is 4-0 in the last four meetings between the Nationals and Phillies.
- The Nationals are 8-2 in their past 10 road games.

The Phillies will send Adam Morgan to the mound despite the lefty struggling mightily this season. If you remove his two starts against the awful Atlanta Braves – the worst offense in the MLB – Morgan has posted a 10.26 ERA while allowing opponents to hit .363.
