Nationals vs. Phillies Predictions, Expert Picks & Best Bets August 5: Domination from Gibson

Alex here, and I’m giving out my top picks in this betting preview. What’s better than some profitable bets for Friday, August 5?

I’ll be giving out my top baseball plays in this sharp sports betting preview. I’ll be giving out my sharp picks and predictions for the Washington Nationals vs. Philadelphia Phillies game on Friday, August 5. This matchup is scheduled to begin at 7:05pm ET. Most money has come in on the Washington Nationals, with 56% of all action coming in on them so far.

Josiah Gray is scheduled to start for the Washington Nationals on 8/5. Kyle Gibson is set to take the mound for the Philadelphia Phillies.

The over/under is currently set at 8.5 total runs. The over 8.5 total runs for Nationals vs. Phillies is at -105 odds on DraftKings sportsbook (e.g. DK). The under is at the price of -115 odds on DK sportsbook. Lines can always move, so make sure to check the OddsJam MLB Odds Screen to get the best possible odds.

Additionally, don’t forget that different locations have various online bookmakers available, so you may be able to get a better betting line than the odds listed on DraftKings. Line shopping is my #1 piece of sports betting advice. Always get the best possible betting line!

My only goal is to help sports bettors become profitable. That’s why I started OddsJam initially. The Positive EV Betting Tool updates millions of betting lines in real-time every second to find you the most profitable, data-driven bets.

I don’t have a betting pick on the Washington Nationals vs. Philadelphia Phillies total on Friday, 8/5/22. At least yet 😉 The run line is currently set at 1.5, which is common for an MLB game. You’ll rarely see an MLB team that is a 2.5 point favorite on the run line.

On the moneyline, the Philadelphia Phillies are favored. They are -205 odds on DraftKings. The Washington Nationals are the dogs on August 5, 2022. They are +175 moneyline odds on DraftKings sportsbook. The Nationals will look to pull off the upset W in this game on Friday, 8/5/22.

All odds in this preview were from DraftKings. That’s just one of many sportsbooks out there. DraftKings is one of the most popular sportsbooks and my personal favorite. I think they have an easy to use, slick interface. This online bookmaker has a $1,000 deposit bonus for new users, as well as tons of promotions.

Official Pick: Back the Phillies on the moneyline for 1.5 units.
