Phillies vs. Nationals Prediction, Odds, Picks - August 22
Paul DeJong - Drawing fourth straight start DeJong will start at second base and bat third in Thursday's game against the Mets.
Impact DeJong will remain in the lineup for a fourth straight game, with the Nationals having faced two lefty starters and two righty starters during that stretch. Despite his recent usage, DeJong is likely to remain limited to a part-time role against right-handed pitching, as the Nationals are expected to continue deploying Luis Garcia at second base, Brady House at third base and CJ Abrams at shortstop for the majority of those matchups.
AUGUST 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Bell - Absent from lineup Bell is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
Impact It's a routine day off for Bell, who homered in Wednesday's victory over New York. James Wood is in the designated hitter spot and Andres Chaparro is at first base for the Nationals.

Jose A. Ferrer - Collects third save Ferrer gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his third save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Mets.
Impact The southpaw was able to erase a one-out single by Cedric Mullins with a game-ending double play thanks to a 97.9 mph sinker. Ferrer has pocketed three of the Nationals' four saves in August, with Cole Henry notching the fourth, and he is the clear top option for closing duties in the bullpen. Over 17.1 innings since the beginning of July, Ferrer has posted a 2.08 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB.

Brad Lord - Hangs on for fourth win Lord (4-6) picked up the win in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over the Mets, giving up four runs on seven hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out four.
Impact The right-hander blanked New York for four innings before the wheels began to come off, but Washington gave Lord enough offensive support to get him into the win column. The four runs were the most he'd allowed in an outing since moving back into the rotation after the All-Star break, and over six starts during that span he's posted a 3.45 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB in 31.1 innings. Lord faces a tough test in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Yankee Stadium.

Riley Adams - Resting up Wednesday Adams is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Impact Drew Millas will pick up a start behind the plate while Adams sits for the second time in three games. Adams is slashing .302/.388/.419 since the beginning of August and is still projected to see the bulk of the playing time at catcher until Keibert Ruiz (concussion) is activated from the 7-day injured list.
