Desperate for a win, look for the Phillies to get one today against the Nats in DC.
The Phillies wrap up their three game set with the Nats in Washington knowing they need this game like blood to stay in contention for the NL Wildcard.
It certainly doesn't hurt knowing Jon Leiber is in solid KW form while also owning solid KW past performance numbers against the Nationals as well. His opponent, Nationals southpaw Mike O'Connor, is coming off an outing in which he allowed six runs in less than five innings and hasn't gone past the five innings since June when he was up with the team earlier this season.
Look for Leiber to improve to 17-5 in his last 22 team starts from September out here tonight.
