Jesus Luzardo heats up Nationals Park as he aims to keep his hot stretch going, carrying an 11-5 record and 4.20 ERA. He’s already surpassed his career-high win total from 2023 and has won four straight decisions, with no losses since July 4. Brad Lord counters for Washington, rolling into the start with a 3-6 mark and a 3.28 ERA, valued for his recent turn back into a starter role and a 2.70 ERA over the last month. Philadelphia sits atop the NL East with strong momentum; Washington trails badly, adding bite to a marquee matchup that carries -193 on PHI and +160 on WAS. Beyond this pair, the day’s slate features Diamondbacks at Rockies, Marlins at Guardians, and a lineup of high-leverage bets, including Kyle Stowers’ +425 homer prop. The Rays of the rest of the night include Padres at Dodgers with a King-Kershaw duel, underscoring a MLB-wide focus on value in a crowded market.
