The read

I’m backing Philadelphia on the moneyline because Walker’s 3.34 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP fits a matchup against a Washington lineup that doesn’t scare you. Bryce Harper brings 21 homers to anchor a group that can cash chances, while the Nationals’ power behind CJ Abrams is thin. Cade Cavalli has allowed a .266 average with a 1.29 WHIP, so traffic is there even with the shiny ERA and this Philly order knows how to turn traffic into runs. The worry is Walker’s .251 average against, but Washington’s free swings—Brady House has 48 strikeouts—make it hard to build a crooked inning, so grab the better club at home and have the guts to ride with me.
