Nationals vs. Phillies Prediction, Odds, Probable Pitchers, Prop Bets for Thursday, Aug. 6

The Philadelphia Phillies are looking to bounce back from last night’s extra-inning loss as they close out a four-game set against the Washington Nationals.

That loss ended a four-game winning streak for the Phils, and stopped a seven-game skid for the Nats.

Philadelphia is a massive favorite at home tonight.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Nationals vs. Phillies on Thursday, Aug. 6.

Nationals vs. Phillies Best MLB Prop Bets

Phillies Best MLB Prop Bet

Luis Arraez OVER 0.5 RBIs (+150)

Luis Arraez has made an immediate impact in Philadelphia. He went 2 for 4 with two RBI in his Phillies debut, then hit a home run last night.

The contact hitter isn’t your prototypical cleanup guy, but he’s batting there for the Phillies. That should give him plenty of opportunities to drive in runs with the big guns ahead of him.

Nationals vs. Phillies Prediction and Pick

I have to take a three-dollar underdog. I just have to.

Sanchez allowed five runs in as many innings against the Nationals in June after allowing one run in 5.1 innings back in April.

Washington traded away Luis Garcia Jr., and James Wood is now injured, but this price is just disrespectful for a team that is 33-26 on the road this season, and 23-15 vs. LHP.

Pick: Nationals +303
