Philadelphia Phillies at Washington Nationals
Suggestion: Washington Nationals (-104)

Washington is rolling now, on a four-game winning streak. They've been the doormats of the NL East since their inception, and now they have a chance to sweep the Phillies in this series. Cole Hammels is pitching outstanding, but Jordan Zimmerman is producing at the same high level (0.84 WHIP, 1.89 ERA, 22 strikeouts, 3 walks). Washington has won the last seven in this series and with this short price, I'm backing the motivated home team to win tonight. Invest in the Washington Nationals (-104)
