Washington Nationals.
NL EAST GOW.
Game 901.
3:40 PM PST/6:40 PM EST.
At first glance, you might think that picking either side in this matchup is a tough decision. However, there is a huge disparity between the way the Nationals and the Marlins are playing. Washington, which is just one-game under .500 at 13-14, is solid on the road, sporting a 9-6 record this season, and have won three consecutive contests. Miami, which possesses the worst record in all of baseball, at 6-23, is on a six-game slide, and possesses the single worst home record as well, at 2-14 at Loan Depot Park this season. The Nationals have taken all three games thus far in this series, exploding for a total of 26 runs. Right-hander, Jake Irvin comes off an ugly outing. But has been solid prior to that. Left-hander, Trevor Rogers has good numbers, but just can't get any real run support. Basically, this game comes down to that, run support. Washington scores more than a half a run per game offensively, while allowing nearly a full run less per game. We are siding with the visitors here. Take the Nationals. Thank you.
