The Washington Nationals and the Miami Marlins will close out a five-game series Monday night. The Nats put a 9-3 beating on Miami on Sunday and I think they'll come through with another win here. This is mostly a fade of Marlins' starter Pablo Lopez (2-1, 2.42 ERA) who is 0-2 with an 8.87 ERA in five career starts against the Nationals. Juan Soto is 5-for-11 with a pair of home runs off Lopez.

Washington starter has faced the Fish once (last year), in a contest where he allowed just three hits and one run in five innings.

Nationals are 14-4 in their last 18 home games vs. a team with a winning record.

10* play on Washington Nationals.
