The Nationals Can Win If They Stay Hot at the Plate

The Washington Nationals are finally showing signs of life, and much of it centers around a resurgent offense. Led by the red-hot Josh Bell, Washington has powered its way to five straight wins over the Marlins and seven wins in its last eight games overall. Bell has three home runs and 10 RBIs in his last two games, while rookie Daylen Lile is batting .432 during a nine-game hitting streak.

If Jake Irvin can give the Nats five decent innings and limit long balls — a major weakness all year — Washington’s offense could once again carry the load. Their edge in extra-base hits (8th in doubles, 7th in stolen bases) gives them the tools to manufacture runs and pressure opposing pitchers.

The Marlins Can Win If They Finish What They Start

The Miami Marlins showed fight late in Tuesday’s loss, scoring three runs in the ninth and bringing the tying run to the plate. But moral victories don’t count in the standings — and Miami has now dropped seven of its last eight games. Still, with a solid .250 team batting average (8th in MLB) and plenty of contact hitters, this team isn’t out of it.

Eury Pérez needs to rebound after giving up seven runs to these same Nationals just over a week ago. He’s got the stuff — a 1.10 WHIP points to good control — but consistency has been elusive. If Pérez can settle in early and keep Josh Bell quiet, Miami’s bats might just be able to take it the rest of the way.

The Lean

• Moneyline: Marlins -162
• Total: 8.5 runs
• Prediction: Marlins 5, Nationals 4

Recommended Bets:

• Pick: Marlins to win straight up
• Total: Over 8.5

Despite recent struggles, the Marlins are still the sharper team on paper — especially offensively. Both starting pitchers are prone to big innings, and both bullpens have been tested lately, which supports taking the over.

Additional Analysis: Trends, Pitching & Power

Jake Irvin’s numbers are troubling. He’s posted a 9.87 ERA over his last seven starts and has surrendered 33 home runs this season — most in the NL. He’s also allowed two homers in four of his last six outings. If the Marlins’ contact hitters can square up early, things could unravel fast.

Eury Pérez, while more controlled overall, hasn’t been much better lately. He’s lost back-to-back decisions and allowed seven runs to Washington in his last outing. But with a strong WHIP and the motivation to avenge that loss, this could be a bounce-back spot.

Offensively, both teams are strong in doubles, and the Nationals hold an edge in stolen bases. Still, with more depth and urgency, Miami may finally stop the bleeding.
