This is an 8* play on the Washington Nationals.

The Nats have turned things around after a terrible start to the season, and they look to stay hot tonight as they host the Marlins in Game 2 of this series in the nation's capital. Washington won Game 1, and has now won six of it's last seven.

Stephen Strasburg will toe the slab for the Nats, and he's coming off a solid performance. Strasburg (2-2, 4.60 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on six hits while striking out seven over 5 1/3 innings in a win over the Mets his last time out. He's 20-10 with a 2.52 ERA in 47 starts in Washington since 2012, and he's 7-4 with a 3.62 ERA in 15 starts versus the Fish during that span.

Miami hands the ball to Mat Latos, who has been hit pretty hard this season. Latos (0-3, 6.86 ERA) allowed three runs on five hits over five innings in a no decision versus New York his last time out. Miami has actually won his last two starts, but not because he pitched well, and both of those were home games. He's 0-1 with a 3.38 ERA in his last three visits to Washington.

Take WAS.
