The Phils are the anchor to my Newsletter Parlay of the Day but just on the money line there, which is too high to post here. But good news in that regard as All-Star James Wood is indeed out for the Nats. So I'll go ahead and throw a half-unit down on this even though Jesus Luzardo hasn't been nearly as good at home (better lately). But with all the recent trades and injuries, that Washington lineup is so much weaker. And Zack Littell (7-8, 4.94 ERA) is the primary pitcher tonight. Luis Arraez is making his Philly debut and thus it's arguably the Phillies' best lineup of 2026.
Yes, Jesus Luzardo has meltdowns every once in a while, as he did last time out. He usually bounces back pretty strongly from them and the Nats are in a tailspin right now, having lost six straight. Look for another Luzardo rebound game here.
