Kyle Schwarber keeps mashing for the Phillies, belting his 53rd homer this season and his 22nd off a left-handed pitcher, a mark that ties MLB’s all-time pace for lefty-on-lefty power with Stan Musial and Matt Olson. The achievement caps a historic run: four straight monster seasons in Philadelphia and a postseason spotlight that could reshape his upcoming free-agent negotiation. If the power persists, Philadelphia’s lineup and playoff chances rise in tandem with Schwarber’s leverage.

The Braves open their final road trip of 2025 in Washington, facing a Nationals club near the bottom of the standings. First pitch is 6:45 p.m. ET at Nationals Park. Atlanta will roll the usual lineup, with MLB.tv streaming and FanDuel Sports Network coverage.

For fantasy players, this sets up a dependable day for Braves hitters and a potentially favorable matchup against a struggling Nationals pitching staff. Expect Atlanta's core contributors to pace the offense as they try to finish the road trip on a high note.

Three bets anchor a playoff-minded Monday slate: Diamondbacks-Giants both teams to score 3+ runs, Yankees team total over 4.5 on the road, and Nationals-Braves both teams to score 3+ runs. Each wager leans on late-season forms, park quirks, and bullpen depth, with 1-unit plays and promos tied to DK, Caesars, and BetMGM.

These bets blend offense-driven angles with bullpen volatility at critical junctures, delivering value for savvy fantasy bettors eyeing run production and innings. Stay mindful of lineup shifts and travel fatigue as the chase for postseason spots intensifies.
