The game here will be a great pitchers battle. The downside is Scherzer is not throwing nearly as good as normal. However, one thing that Scherzer has been missing is the fact that he is not getting much in the way of run support. With that being the case, Scherzer is a pitcher that will keep the Phillies offense in check, but as the game goes on the lack of support does not help the Nationals at all. Final Score, Philadelphia Phillies win 3-2.
