Phillies Game Today: Phillies vs Nationals Lineup, Odds, Prediction, Pick, Pitcher, TV Channel for August 31
It’s the last game of August, which means we’re either heading into the Philadelphia Phillies‘ final month of the season or their first season in which September is not the end of their season for the first time since 2011.
The Phillies currently have a four-game win streak and look to continue that on Tuesday evening against the Washington Nationals. They currently sit in second place, 3.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves. The Mets have sunk to seven games out of first.
While the Phillies have played much better at home (39-28) than on the road (28-36), the Nats have losing records in both categories (55-75 overall), so hopefully, the Phillies can finish August strong tonight.

Phillies Pitcher Today: Matt Moore
Matt Moore goes up against Patrick Corbin tonight, and their ERAs are virtually identical, as we all expected going into the season.
Moore has a 6.12 ERA over 20 games (12 starts) this season but is doing much better of late. Until his most recent start on August 26, he had a 4.30 ERA over four prior games this month, including six no-hit innings against the Cincinnati Reds on August 14. Over three starts this month (he made two relief appearances at the beginning of August), he has a 3.77 ERA with 14 strikeouts over 14 1/3 innings and has held opposing lineups to a .200/.310/.360 line and .670 OPS.
Patrick Corbin is on his way to the worst season of his career, and it’s not even close. He has a 6.09 ERA over 25 starts and has allowed 148 hits and an MLB-leading 92 earned runs over 136 innings. He also leads the NL in home runs allowed (31), has issued 43 walks, and has only struck out 110 batters, his worst strikeout rate since his rookie season in 2012.
Dating back to July 1, Corbin has allowed four or more earned runs in all but two of 10 starts. He has a 7.26 ERA over those games and has more earned runs (43) than strikeouts (42) in those 53 1/3 innings.
