The MIami Marlins and Washington Nationals face off on Friday in an MLB showdown at Nationals Park.
The Marlins come into this game with a 34-40 record and a big issue for this team has been an the inconsistency. During the three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals, the Marlins scored seven runs total, and that led to them losing two of the three games. The Marlins offense is averaging 4.37 runs per game which is 16th in the league. Jazz Chisholm has hit 14 home runs and driven in 45 RBIs.
On the other side of this matchup is the Nationals who sit with a 29-49 and they had won three games in a row before losing against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The pitching struggled in the last game giving up eight runs. The Nationals are averaging 4.03 runs per game which is 24th in the league. Josh Bell has been the best player this season hitting 11 home runs and driving in 46 RBIs.
On the mound for the Marlins is Trevor Rogers who sits with a 3-6 record and an ERA of 5.86. In his last start against the New York Mets, he went 4.1 innings giving up seven hits and three runs.
On the mound for the Nationals is Josiah Gray who sits with a 6-4 record and an ERA of 3.82. In his last start against the Texas Rangers, he went seven innings giving up four hits and two runs.
The Marlins are 0-4 in Rogers last four starts on Friday. The over is 6-0 in the Marlins last six games played on Friday. The under is 4-0 in Gray’s last four starts during Game 1 of a series. The over is 4-0 in the Marlins last four starts during Game 1 of a series.
The Nationals have played a little better as of late, and I just don’t trust Rogers with the way he has pitched this season. Rogers sits with an ERA near six, and the Nationals' bats are going to be hot. The Nationals scored seven runs in the last game, and they will get close to that number here. Back the Nationals on the money line.
