For the fifth time this season, a slugfest broke out between the Nationals and Phillies on Wednesday night. These two wrap up their series on Thursday afternoon as Scott Olsen gets his chance to try and slow down the Phillies lineup. However, Olsen is 5-6 with a 5.29 ERA and a WHIP of 1.69 against them. Last year, Olsen gave up 7 runs in 10.7 innings against Philadelphia. The Phillies hit .310 against him with Ryan Howard (14-29), Jayson Werth (10-19) and Raul Ibanez (5-8) all doing the best.

J.A. Happ threw five solid innings against the Astros earlier this season, but the Nationals represent a huge step-up in talent. Washington has gone Over in two straight and in six of their eight games. Happ has made one start against the Nationals going just 5.3 innings giving up three hits and three runs in a 5-4 home win. With these two teams a combined 12-4 to the Over this season, we expect another high-scoring game this afternoon.
