Miami Marlins vs Washington Nationals: The Marlins will start to improve their tournament position

The Miami Marlins are playing below their potential and are out of the play-off zone. Will the Florida team be able to improve their standing in the series with the season's underdog Washington Nationals? There are a few options for the first leg of the game.

Before the games with Washington, the Marlins had a good home series with San Francisco, one of the strongest teams in the National League. The Marlins took two out of four games from the Giants (3:0, 6:15, 5:4, 1:5). Unfortunately, they have only shown their actual level in individual matches. With a 22-30 balance, Miami is only 4th in the National League East Division. And the team is only 12th in the conference standings.

The Marlins' starting pitcher for the first game of their home division series with Washington is Dominican Edward Cabrera.

Before visiting the Marlins, the Metropolitan team beat the Cincinnati Reds (1:8, 8:5, 10:8, 5:4) on the road. Washington dropped to last place in the National League and now finds itself in last place with a 21-35 lead.

In their upcoming Miami game, Evan Lee will be Pitching for Washington, who has made only one appearance on the slide this season - against the New York Mets (0:5).

Miami is potentially a playoff-level team. So, in a series with a division underdog, Don Mattingly's team has to prove its worth and pick up wins. Washington doesn't contend for anything in this league, although they've been great at bat. However, defensive failures do not allow the Nationals to produce a result consistently. The prediction is that Miami will win the game.
