**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
On June 22nd, all right, let's talk baseball. The Phillies and Nationals are squaring off for a series, and it's been a bit of a mixed bag. Phillies been hot overall this June, winning most of their series and putting up a lot of runs, especially with Kyle Schwarber going off. But when they hit the road, things get a little tougher for them. Meanwhile, the Nats have been up and down, losing a few lately after a solid winning streak. They've managed to stay above 500 for the season, which is a good sign, even if their offense has been a bit quiet. They've got Foster Griffin on the mound, and he's been pretty reliable, winning most of his starts. Now, looking at the numbers, the Phillies have the edge in the season series, but the Nationals actually outscored them in their previous matchups.
It's interesting because Phillies been a tough out at home, but their record against the spread on the road isn't great. Washington, on the other hand, has been surprisingly good against the spread, both overall and at home.
When it comes to betting, the experts are leaning towards the Nationals. They're suggesting a play on Washington to win outright, and also to cover the spread. They're also predicting the total score to go under 10 runs, which makes sense given the Nationals recent offensive struggles. So, while the Phillies have been on a roll offensively, the Nats have Foster Griffin pitching and a better track record against the spread. It looks like a game where you might want to consider the underdog, especially with how the numbers are shaking out.
