Marlins vs Nationals Prediction
Miami was able to score 11 runs in game one for the win on Friday night, but their offense has struggled over the last few series. The Marlins are just 12-21 on the road this year, while the Nationals are 15-19 at home. Washington has lost six games in a row, and they have allowed at least five runs in three of their last four. The Nats are starting Williams, who has allowed 2, 5, 0, and 5 earned runs in his last four starts. We aren’t sure who Miami is going to start in this game, but their team ERA is 28th in the MLB, so I don’t have much hope for a strong outing. I think the offenses will get going once again here, and I like the over.
