STARTING PITCHING MATCHUP
Jackson Griffin — RHP, Nationals
2026 Season:
Record: 5–4
ERA: 3.71
WHIP: 1.22
K/BB: 68/20
Last 5 Starts: 3.38 ERA, 1.18 WHIP
Scouting Notes:
Power fastball (95–97) with late life
Phillies rank top‑10 vs RHP in OPS
Griffin struggles when behind in counts
Fly‑ball tendencies could be punished with wind blowing out
Matchup Edge: Moderate disadvantage
Phillies Starting Pitcher: TBA
Philadelphia is lining up for a bullpen game or a spot start from a depth arm.
Bullpen Profile:
ERA: 3.67 (top‑10 MLB)
WHIP: 1.21
Strengths: High‑leverage arms (Alvarado, Kerkering, Hoffman)
Weaknesses: Middle‑inning depth inconsistent
Impact: A bullpen game can work if the Phillies score early — but Nationals Park is not ideal for soft‑contact relievers.
Matchup Edge: Neutral to slight disadvantage
