Philadelphia Phillies vs Washington Nationals Prediction: Phillies are too good to be ignored

Tuesday's Major League Baseball action at Citizens Bank Park features a matchup between the Washington Nationals and the Philadelphia Phillies. The Washington Nationals recently completed a series against the Cincinnati Reds over the weekend. The Washington Nationals were able to clinch the series sweep with a three-run victory on Sunday, following victories in the previous two games of the series. As for the Philadelphia Phillies, in their most recent series, they faced off against the Kansas City Royals and split the opening pair of games against them. The Philadelphia Phillies won the series thanks to a four-run victory in the decisive game on Sunday.

On Friday, the Philadelphia Phillies were defeated 7-5 by the Kansas City Royals. However, on Saturday, they were victorious over the Royals, 9-6. In the game, home runs were hit by Alec Bohm, Bryce Harper, and Trea Turner, respectively. The Philadelphia Phillies won their Sunday rubber match by a score of 8-4 thanks to a total of 12 hits. Home runs were hit by Kyle Schwarber (two runs batted in), Nick Castellanos (two runs batted in), and Bryson Stott (three runs batted in). Ranger Suarez is going to take the mound for the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday as the team's starting pitcher. Suarez has started 15 games so far and has a 2-5 record with a 4.01 earned run average. He has 76 strikeouts over a total of 85.1 innings pitched. In his previous seven starts, Suarez has a record of 1-3 with a 4.54 earned run average and 21 earned runs allowed across 41.2 innings pitched.

On Friday, the Washington Nationals defeated the Cincinnati Reds by a score of 6-3, and then on Saturday, they prevailed by a score of 7-3 in game two. Lane Thomas of Washington contributed two runs and two RBI to the victory that was achieved on Saturday. The Washington Nationals scored four runs in the opening inning of their game on Sunday and went on to win easily by a score of 6-3. CJ Abrams had a perfect game, going 4-for-5 with two runs scored and a home run. Lane Thomas contributed a home run of his own in addition to driving in three runs. Trevor Williams will take the field for the Washington Nationals in the game on Tuesday as the team's starting pitcher. Williams has a record of 5-6 on the season with a 4.72 earned run average, 79 strikeouts over 108.2 innings pitched, and 22 starts. Williams has a record of 11-2 over his previous seven starts, with a 6.06 earned run average and 22 runs scored over 32.2 innings pitched.

I'm not going to switch teams since the competition is too fierce between the Philadelphia Phillies and the other teams. However, this will be a fascinating matchup between the starters. In his most recent start, which was against the Miami Marlins, Suarez allowed just one earned run over 6.1 innings while also allowing 10 hits. In his previous 11.0 innings, Suarez also had eight earned runs to his credit. Williams has also had a few inflated starts as of late, as he has given up nine earned runs over the course of his most recent 10 innings pitched. If neither team's starters are on the field, the scoreboard situation might quickly go out of control. The Philadelphia Phillies kept up their offensive assault in their game on Sunday, and as a result, they have now scored 19 runs over the course of their last three games. Therefore, the Philadelphia Phillies should have a relatively simple beginning to the first game of the series.
