Philly has put together a surprising season thus far, getting major contributions from their under-the-radar starting pitching staff.
Jeremy Hellickson has put together his best season in recent memory, but faces a tough lineup and opposing SP Stephen Strasburg.
Philadelphia Phillies
Jeremy Hellickson was once a solid rotation piece during his early days with the Tampa Bay Rays, putting back to back years of and 3.10 ERA or better and a 1.15 WHIP or better between 2011 and 2012.
He appears to have regained some of that form so far this year, with a 3.80 ERA and 1.21 WHIP, although this is coming after 3 seasons of mediocrity.
Do I believe it? Not necessarily.
Regardless if I do or not, Washington should be able to put up runs against him.

The Phillies’ lineup has received big contributions from Odubel Herrera, who has put together a great rookie season so far, leading the team with a .318 average and .422 OBP, to go along with 5 HR and 8 SB.
Maikel Franco leads the team with 10 homers and 32 RBI, but aside from him and Herrera there isn’t a whole lot to get excited about, especially since Tommy Joseph has sat for two straight games after putting together a nice stretch with the bat.
Washington Nationals
The Nats are one of the best NL Teams in the MLB, sitting in first place in the NL East division with a .610 winning percentage with their 36-23 record.
Bryce Harper is again in the MVP conversation early, and youngster Anthony Rendon has turned a corner and is now up to a .263 average with 6 HR and 6 SB after a slow start.
Daniel Murphy continues to be a revelation and lead the team in average, RBI, OBP and Hits.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
Stephen Strasburg should be able to handle the Phillies lineup easily, having shut down much fiercer competition this year with seemingly ease. In 12 starts, the 9-0 Strasburg has gathered 100 strikeouts and a 2.85 ERA and 1.09 WHIP.
His 11.39 K/9 leads the team over fellow ace, Max Scherzer, and others.
