Gambling911.com has your Phillies vs. Nationals betting picks and DFS plays for April 19.

Best Bets: UNDER 7.5

Best DFS Picks: Stephen Strasburg

PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH David Buchanan (0-2, 11.42 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Stephen Strasburg (0-1, 6.75)

Betting Line: Washington -220, Philadelphia +200, Total 7.5

Strasburg has allowed only 24 hits off of 104 at bats vs. the current Philadelphia roster and has yet to win this season. Strasburgh also has 82 strikeouts in 69 career innings against the division rivals. He is priced at $10.1K however, but probably well worth it in this scenario.

Buchanan got knocked against Philadelphia last season, allowing 7 runs.

Prior to the last two meetings, this series went UNDER the current total six straight times.

The Phillies are 1-10 in Buchanan’s last 11 starts but we trust they will pull him early if necessary to keep this UNDER 7.5.

The real play is for daily fantasy enthusiasts with Strasburg.
