The Nationals have been surprisingly decent lately and had success against Wheeler earlier this season (14 runs in three games). They're off to one of their most productive months at the plate this season, slashing .260 BA/.332 OBP/.428 SLG/.760 OPS with 19 homers and 33 doubles in 16 games. They're scoring 5.2 runs per game in August and 5.2 runs since the All-Star break (33 games) after scoring 4.1 runs pre-All-Star weekend.

Washington is a much better bet on the run line than Philadelphia, as well. The Nats are 66-48 RL as underdogs and 19-15 RL vs. division opponents. The Phillies are 32-51 RL as favorites and 13-20 RL vs. division opponents.
