The Washington Nationals are looking to bounce back after a close 11-9 loss to the Miami Marlins. In that game, the Nationals showed their offensive strength with 16 hits. James Wood was a standout performer, going 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs.

The Nationals’ lineup has power and speed, ranking 9th in stolen bases with 57. They also have a solid batting average of .241, placing them 13th in the league. With players like CJ Abrams and James Wood, who have been consistent at the plate, the Nationals have the tools to put runs on the board.

The Lean

The Marlins are the underdog with a moneyline of +113, while the Nationals are favored at -136. Despite being the underdog, the Marlins have a slightly better batting average and fewer strikeouts. My model projects the Marlins to win with a score of 5-4. Thus, I recommend taking the Marlins on the moneyline.

The over/under line is set at 9.0. Both teams have high earned run averages, with the Nationals at 4.96 and the Marlins at 5.12. This suggests a high-scoring game. My model predicts a total score of 9, which aligns with the line. Therefore, I recommend taking the over for this game.

Marlins, Nationals Meet Again After Rain-Delayed Slugfest

The Miami Marlins and Washington Nationals will be back in action Saturday afternoon, less than 12 hours after wrapping up a rain-soaked series opener that stretched late into the night. Miami came out on top in an 11-9 win, fueled by a 17-hit performance and a standout showing from rookie Agustin Ramirez.

After a 2-hour, 14-minute rain delay pushed the game’s finish past midnight, both teams will have to regroup quickly for the middle game of the series. The Marlins will aim for their first consecutive wins since May 24-25, while the Nationals are trying to snap a six-game losing streak.

Pitching Matchup: Gibson Debuts, Williams Tries to Recover

Miami will turn to rookie left-hander Cade Gibson (1-3, 0.93 ERA), who will be making his first career start after serving primarily as a reliever. He’ll be operating as an opener and has not previously faced Washington.

The Nationals counter with veteran right-hander Trevor Williams (3-7, 5.91 ERA). After a strong outing against Seattle on May 28, Williams has struggled in back-to-back appearances, surrendering eight runs (seven earned) over 8 2/3 innings. Last Sunday, he lasted just 4 1/3 innings in a loss to Texas.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez remains confident in Williams, saying his short outings are partially due to caution following last year’s flexor muscle injury. Still, the righty has failed to complete five innings in four of his last five starts and owns a 1-5 record with a 5.46 ERA in 15 career appearances against the Marlins.

Ramirez, Marlins Lineup Spark Offense

Agustin Ramirez led the offensive charge for the Marlins on Friday with three hits, including two solo homers. It marked his second career multi-homer game and came after an 0-for-18 slump. Ramirez is now tied with Kyle Stowers for the team lead in home runs (10), an impressive feat considering he debuted in late April.

Dane Myers and Xavier Edwards also recorded three hits each, while Eric Wagaman delivered two hits and three RBIs. Myers has been particularly hot, batting .360 (9-for-25) over his last seven games.

Miami will look to maintain that momentum in Game 2 and capitalize on a Washington pitching staff that has struggled in recent outings. Explore today’s MLB picks and predictions to see who experts are backing.

Nationals Break Out of Slump but Still Fall Short

Despite the loss, the Nationals showed signs of life offensively after a cold stretch. Washington had scored four or fewer runs in 10 straight games before breaking out for nine runs on 16 hits Friday night.

James Wood highlighted the performance with three hits, including a home run and four RBIs, coming within a triple of the cycle. CJ Abrams and Keibert Ruiz added three hits apiece. Abrams is batting .389 (7-for-18) with two doubles, a home run, and six runs scored over his last four games.

Wood remained optimistic postgame, stating, “We know we’re capable of being an elite offense. When stretches like that happen, you can’t really panic over them.”
