Washington Nationals
Philadelphia Phillies
We face a tough starting pitcher.
He has been good this year but also has very average stuff. Castellanos has hit him very well in the past (.382, 2 HRs) so maybe this is the right guy to help him get going. I feel we do worse against the high velocity guys though I'd really love to see the data on that.
