Philadelphia Phillies
Eflin was decent in his last outing where he picked up his ninth win of the season in a 9-6 victory over the New York Mets.
He went 6.2 innings giving up seven hits and four earned runs while he struck out five and walked three.
In 97.1 innings of work this season, Eflin owns a decent 8.41 K/9, an excellent 2.03 BB/9, a slightly high 1.20 HR/9, and a mediocre 73.6% LOB%.
The end-result is a solid 3.70 ERA and a similar 3.77 FIP.

Free Philadelphia Phillies vs. Washington Nationals MLB Prediction: Washington edges out Philadelphia at home
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Phillies +1.5 & UNDER 8.5 Runs
Eflin has been solid in the month of August posting a 3.92 ERA to go with a slash line of .213/.253/.400.
Strasburg will make his first start since coming off of the DL to face a Philadelphia squad that hasn’t hit as well on the road.
Philadelphia has played Washington hard when they play in Washington where they have gone 10-2 ATS.
It is hard to choose between either pitcher, so I’ll take the extra 1.5 runs as this should be a close outing.
