Free MLB Pick
The home team has dominated recently in this series getting the money in eight of the last ten games including a three game series sweep last time these two met at Marlins Park back in April. Miami starter Jose Fernandez won both of his home starts this season and looked decent doing so allowing three runs in 13 innings pitched. He’s faced the Nationals three times in his career and has shone with a combined 20 innings pitched allowing just one run! Washington starter Jordan Zimmerman is on a big role with the nationals winning his last seven starts, but his pitching hasn’t been lights out in recent starts with a 5.06 earned run average in his last three outings. He does have a great stats line against the Marlins’ active roster, but Fernandez’ numbers in comparison are better.
