Shane’s Free Pick

Sanchez at times hasn’t gotten a ton of run support, but the Phillies have won the last two starts by him. The Nationals offense is averaging only 4.4 runs per game and they are going to really struggle to get Sanchez here. The Phillies are going to give him some run support also, and this is going to be an easy victory for the Phillies. Back the Phillies on the run line.
