Rating: 8/10*
The Washington Nationals claimed the opener of this three-game series 1-0 on Monday. They're 14 games ahead of the Miami Marlins at the top of hte NL East, and I think the Nats will win by a fairly large margin tonight.
Chris O'Grady (2-1, 3.68 ERA) will take the ball for Miami, his fifth start in the majors. The 27 year old rookie tossed seven scoreless innings of five-hit ball agains the Reds his last time out. O'Grady's 3.68 ERA might look pretty decent, but his 1.41 WHIP tells another story with 12 walks and 19 hits allowed through 22 innings of work.
The Nats hand the ball to Max Scherzer (12-5, 2.23 ERA) who has been phenomenal all season. Scherzer has been even better on the road than at home, entering the contest with an 8-2 record behind a 1.81 ERA in 12 away starts on the season.
The Nats powerful offense should be too much for O'Grady to handle. We can note that the Nats are 20-16 against the runline as a road favorite on the season, and that is at an average line of +115.
