The Marlins’ pitching gave up zero runs, and that was enough for the five-run victory. Max Meyer looked good; he went 6.1 innings, giving up two hits and zero runs.

Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins Prediction

Give me the Nationals. This Nationals team is filled with fighters, and this team is going to cause a lot of teams some problems this season. In 12.1 innings so far this season, he has given up only one run in 12.1 innings. This Marlins offense is middle off the road, but they are going to really struggle to get any sort of thing. Parker will go at least seven innings, he won’t give up more than a run, and Washington is going to end up cruising here. Back the Nationals on the money line. I am also betting the Nationals -1.5 to cash.
