This is a 5* BIG-CHALK SUPER-BLOWOUT on the Philadelphia Phillies.

Philadelphia only has five games left to try and punch its ticket to the playoffs. The Phillies have lost two straight, but I think they'll lay the hammer down in the Nation's capital in this very favorable matchup.

Aaron Nola (5-3, 2.92 ERA) has ten starts under his belt this season and he's 6-6 with a 3.86 ERA in 21 career starts vs. the Nationals. Nola starts the first double-header and I think he'll easily get the better of his counterpart.

Austin Voth (0-5, 7.17) has for the most part been a disaster for the Nationals and this'll be the first time he's faced Philadelphia

Finally I'll point out that the Phillies are 8-2 in their last ten after back-to-back losses and scoring one or less run in their most recent setback.

With a tough three-game series in Tampa to finish the year, it's NOW OR NEVER for Nola and the Phillies.

Lay it with confidence!

Good luck, NP
