Pick
Washington comes into this game playing .500 baseball over the last week, but they dropped Game 1 in this series. The Marlins are 21-21 so far this season, but they have really struggled to score runs on a consistent basis. Miami is starting Edward Cabrera, who has allowed 13 earned runs over his last 17.2 innings pitched. Washington is starting MacKenzie Gore, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. I like the Nationals in this game.
