Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals head-to-head record
Based on their last five meetings, the Philadelphia Phillies have usually beaten the Washington Nationals, capturing four of those five games. They beat the Nationals 11–5 on May 19, 2024, and also beat them 4–3 on the same day. This shows that the Phillies can score more runs than the Nationals during both high-scoring and close games. The Nationals only won one game, a close 3-2 win on April 7, 2024, which shows how hard it was for them to consistently beat the Phillies' pitching along with defense. Based on these results, the Phillies are likely to use their strong offense and home-field advantage to get another win in the next game. However, the Nationals may still keep it close if they take advantage of any chances.
