The Philadelphia Phillies have been all over the place from a consistency stand point. They had a chance to have a five game win streak, but went down in extra innings to the Nationals on Wednesday. Tonight, expect several bats to step up with Brandon Marsh being a key contributor. He is 5 for 12 in his career against Miles Mikolas, and should maximize his four at bats tonight. Play him in all markets.

This is seemingly one of the biggest pitching mismatches we can see in Major League Baseball. Cristopher Sanchez is 9-1 at Citizens Bank Park with a 1.28 ERA. Miles Mikolas is 0-5 on the road with an ERA north of 5. The Phillies have won 6 of Sanchez's last 7 starts, all by more than one run. With the Nationals missing their top hitter, James Wood, due to injury, I think they get crushed on Thursday evening in Philly.
