Washington Nationals vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction: Phillies to bounce back to winning ways

The Washington Nationals will play the Philadelphia Phillies in game 2 of their three-game series. The Washington Nationals are in the lead in this series. Can the Phillies even this series?

The Washington Nationals ended their run of defeat in their last matches. In the opening game, they scored nine runs while conceding only one. In the meantime, that win was the Washington Nationals’ second in eleven consecutive games, with one other coming against the Chicago Cubs. Heading into this game, the Washington Nationals have a 70-90 record this season, leaving them seated 13th in the National League. 

The Philadelphia Phillies will look to do better here following scoring only one run in the opener and losing by eight runs. In the meantime, the Philadelphia Phillies have lost four matches of their last six games. In fact, the Philadelphia Phillies have only one win in their last four series, winning three games in that run. However, the Philadelphia Phillies have a 94-66 record this season, leaving them seated 2nd in the National League. 

The Nationals surprised me in the opener, and they proved they have a chance in this game 2. However, I believe the Philadelphia Phillies have what it takes to even this series despite struggling in game one. The two teams have a lot to do better here, as their last matches have not been too good in the last series. Yet, I believe this will be another high-scoring game, with the Philadelphia Phillies winning this one.
