Neither the Washington Nationals or the Miami Marlins can be confused with good baseball teams. Both teams are coming off series where they were swept. The Nationals had won two in a row before losing their last three games. They are 4-6 in their last 10 games. They will send Trevor Williams to the mound. He has been a bright spot for the Nationa;s, posting a 2-0 record with a 2.91 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. The Marlins have lost three in a row and four of their last five games. They have the worst record in the NL and will look to turn things around with Jesus Luzardo taking the mound. This season, he is 0-2 with a 6.58 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. The Nationals rank 28th in runs scored. Their pitching is not that much better as the rank 23rd in team ERA. The Marlins rank 26th in both runs scored and team ERA. The Nationals are four games below .500 while the Marlins are 14 games below .500 and have the fewest wins in the NL. Washington is a .500 team on the road while the Marlins have the worst home record in baseball. Washington has won three of the four games Williams has started while the Marlins have lost four of Luzardo’s five starts. The Marlins have lost five of the last seven and 15 of the last 20 when facing a team from the National League. Washington has the better pitcher and their offense will do just enough to pull out the win.
