8/15 Washington Nationals @ Philadelphia Phillies 6:40pm EST

Phillies TT over 4.5 -130 (1u)

Mitchell Parker making the start for the Nats. On the season, he has made 21 starts and is 6-6 in 112.2 innings pitched. He currently holds a 3.83 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. Parker has struggled on the road this season and in 11 starts on the road holds a 4.78 ERA compared to his 3.00 ERA at home. He has allowed the same number of hits at home compared to on the road with 53, but we has allowed 32 runs in away ballparks along with his staggering 20 walks. Parker was decent in his last start against the Angels, as he went 6.1 innings, allowing 2 runs on 8 hits. The Angels went 1-13 with RISP and left 11 on-base so that’s more on the Angels execution as to why they were unable to score runs. Against the Brewers, he was solid in 6.0 innings of work as he allowed 3 hits, 3 walks, and 3 Ks. The Brewers went 0-4 with RISP and left 4 runners on as the game ended 4-3 Nats. Parker had a rough July where he went 21.2 innings allowing 25 hits, 20 runs, 5 homers, and 8 walks.

The Phillies love a LHP hitting .268 this season and over their last 10 games they have hit .262 with 91 hits, 12 home runs, and 47 runs. Look for the Phillies to get to Parker here today and into a Washington bullpen that could be vulnerable here against the Phillies.
