Today we are on the Washington/Philadelphia game to go OVER 9.5.  5 of 6 games in this series have gone OVER the total this season.  Oddly enough, none of those games went over the current total of 9.5.  That won’t stop us here though.

The Nationals are red hot right now and closing in on the Atlanta Braves to lead the division.  Washington has scored 8 or more points in three of their last four games.  In 3 of their last 8 they scored 10 or more points.

Philadelphia has scored 6 or more points in 7 of their last 10 games.  The Over is 17-5 in Philadelphia's last 22 overall.

Dan Haren is 0-3 against Philadelphia with an ERA of 5.82 and a WHIP of 1.353.  His team's record is 0-6 in these starts. The UNDER is 1-4.   Washington is 0-8 in Haren's last 8 starts.

John Lannan is 1-3 this season for Philadelphia with a 5.15 ERA.  He has only lasted beyond 5 innings once.  He gave up 4 runs and 11 hits his last time at the mound against Pittsburgh.

The Over is 9-2 in Nationals last 11 games as a road favorite.

We gotta try and ride out the OVER for this four-game series based on current season trends.
