Gambling911.com has your Phillies vs. Nationals series betting line for Saturday afternoon.

Washington is a -135 home favorite while the Phillies were coming in at +130.  The total for this game was set at 6.5. 

PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies LH Cole Hamels (4-3, 3.24 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Stephen Strasburg (3-4, 5.98)

Cole Hamels has permitted just 72 hits on 342 at bats versus the Nationals current roster.  That translates into a .211 ERA, which is especially impressive.  It’s also the best historic performance among today’s starting pitchers.  He’s allowed only four runs over his last three starts.  Hamels is priced at $9700 and certainly stands out as a solid starter to have on your daily fantasy roster today, making him an excellent option for daily fantasy players.

Strasburg has pitched well against the Phillies in his brief career, going 5-1 with a shutout and a 2.00 ERA in 11 career starts.  Strasburg’s start against Philadelphia this season was his best performance.

Hamels has pitched at least 7 innings in four of his last five starts.  Strasburg has had difficulties getting beyond five innings pitched while only two of the last eight games he has started have gone UNDER the current total of 6.5.

We do like the UNDER 6.5 here.
