View stats & injuries for Marlins vs Nationals

Miami Marlins

Miami Marlins have faced a challenging season due to a multitude of injuries to their starting rotation, resulting in a lousy 55-93 record. Their offensive stats are also lacking, ranked 17th in team batting average, 29th in OPS, and 28th in home runs. Recently, they have dropped four of their last five games, including a loss to the Nationals where pitcher Edward Cabrera performed well but ultimately took the loss. Valente Bellozo will be starting the next game for the Marlins, with a record of 2-3 and a 3.57 ERA. Overall, Miami is ranked 27th in power rankings, with a struggling offense and defense.

Washington Nationals Analysis

The Washington Nationals are currently in a rebuilding phase, as they are not in contention for the division title. This season is focused on player development, with notable performances from CJ Abrams, James Wood, and Dylan Crews. In their recent victory, DJ Herz pitched well and Luis Garcia Jr. hit a solo home run. Patrick Corbin will start the next game, despite struggling this season with a 5-13 record and a high ERA. The Nationals have won four of Corbin's last six outings. Overall, the Nationals rank 23rd in the power ranking, 21st in offense, and 26th in defense, with a record of 66-81. They recently won 1 out of 3 matchups against Miami.

Miami Marlins Poised for Success Against Patrick Corbin and Washington Nationals

Rarely do we have the opportunity to receive a favorable payout for betting against Patrick Corbin. Despite showing some improvement in recent starts, Corbin still maintains a high 5.60 ERA (59th) and 1.52 WHIP (59th). His most recent performance against the Pirates resulted in him giving up seven earned runs, highlighting his inconsistency. The Miami Marlins are poised for success in this matchup, as historical data shows their lineup has performed well against Corbin. The current roster boasts a .308/.372/.410 slash line over 39 at-bats against him. Additionally, the Washington Nationals' bullpen has struggled this season, ranking 22nd in both ERA (4.18) and WHIP (1.34). Therefore, taking a chance on the Marlins as slight underdogs in this situation seems like a wise decision.
