A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for the Marlins and Nationals game
It is a bad season for the Nationals and they are coming off another loss against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Nationals scored a run in the third inning, and another three runs in the 4th, but that was the only offense they could muster. Brady House was one of the top offensive players finishing with two hits and two RBIs. Brad Lord was on the mound and to say he struggled, that might be an understatement. He went three innings giving up five hits and seven runs. He had three strikeouts and two walks.
Getting the start for the Nationals is going to be Andrew Alvarez. With the rosters expanding, he has been called up and he’s going to make his major league debut here. Back in 2021, he was a 12th-round pick by the Nationals. He is expected to be a back-of-the-rotation starter, at best. After this series the Nationals will go to the Windy City to take on the Chicago Cubs.
Why the Nationals Will Beat the Marlins
The Marlins have lost 21 of their last 22 Monday road games against National League opponents.
The Marlins have failed to cover the run line in five of their last six games against NL East opponents that held a losing record.
The Nationals have covered the run line in four of their last five games against National League opponents following a loss.
At best, the hope is for Alvarez to be a decent back-end starter, and that does not spell good news for Washington’s chance in this game. Alvarez hasn’t even been all that impressive the last few seasons in the minor leagues and he’s going to have his issues here. The Marlins offense has shown at least some signs of life with the offense the last few weeks and the yare going to get out to a fast start here. Washington will have no answer, and Miami will come out ahead. Back the Marlins on the money line.

Sandy Alcantara hasn’t had the best season, but he had one of his best starts of the year going seven innings, giving up four hits and one run.
