In addition, the Nationals are the best offensive team in baseball, leading in all four major offensive categories. Tanner Roark has a 3-1 record for the Nats with a 4.04 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. Roark is coming off his first loss last time out, a 6-3 setback to the Diamondbacks. It was the first time Roark had allowed more than three earned runs in his six starts. The good news for the Phillies is that they are in third place in the NL East. The bad news is that they are just 12-17 and 8.5 back of the Nationals. The Phils have lost five straight and eight of the last 10. Jeremy Hellickson has been a bright spot for the team this year, with a 4-1 record and 1.00 WHIP. Hellickson also lost his last time out, a 8-3 setback to the Cubs where he gave up a season-high six earned runs. Two very good pitchers here today, but the Nationals have every edge in this one.
