The Nationals' Jake Irvin (ERA: 4.47) and the Marlins' rookie Eury Perez (ERA: 2.91) will be on the mound.

Game Info

Where: loanDepot park Stadium Nationals vs Marlins Betting Odds Moneyline: Nationals +184 | Marlins -203

Spread: Nationals +1.5 (-121) | Marlins -1.5 (+101)

Total: Over/Under 8.5 (-110)

Based on the moneyline, the implied probability that Miami will win straight-up is 67%.

Washington Nationals

The Nationals will start Jake Irvin in their upcoming game. Irvin recently completed six shutout innings against the Phillies, resulting in a no-decision in a game the Nationals lost. He has a 4.47 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP accompanied by a 3-5 record in 96.2 innings on the season. Washington is a power ranking of 12, 59-69 this season, and is scoring an average of 4.38 runs per game, ranking them 20th. Their pitching has been decent with a 4.91 team ERA, pegging them 27th. Joey Meneses continues to shine, knocking in seven runs in his last seven games and has a .783 OPS in August. Keibert Ruiz is questionable. Washington has won four consecutive series due to consistent offensive production, scoring 15 runs in three games against the Phillies this past weekend.

Miami Marlins Analysis

The Miami Marlins enter their weekend series with the Nationals 2 games out of the wildcard spot, with a record of 4-6 in their last ten decisions. Jesus Sanchez has recorded a solid .815 OPS this month and ishaving an outstanding season, hitting 10 homers with 40 RBIs. Eury Perez leads the pitching staff, enjoying a stellar rookie year with a 2.91 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP, and shutting out the Dodgers for 6 innings in a 3-1 loss. Miami hold a power rating of #25 and have an average of 4.08 runs on the year (#26 in the league) with a pitching ERA of 4.20 (#17). Washington have won all 3 matchups against Miami this season so the Marlins will need to take advantage of the subpar Nationals team in order to gain ground in the wildcard race.

Nats Struggle Historically in Road Games Against Miami as Game 7 Approaches

The Nats have won only three of seven road games. Miami holds the upper hand in this season's matchup, having won all six of their meetings. Additionally, Irvin's 5.18 ERA in 24.1 road innings is a cause for concern while Perez poses a challenge to Nats' batters with his impressive 1.96 ERA and 3-1 record at home. They previously fell to Perez 5-3 in this season's faceoff. The last five Marlins' games have all been won by two or more runs, making the run line a potential option.

My Prediction: Marlins -1.5 (+101) to cover
