Miami at Washington

The Marlins will send Wade LeBlanc to the hill vs. the Nationals, and he has gone form starting, to the pen, and now back into the rotation. He worked admirably a year ago, pitching to a 3.67 ERA, and his four relief innings against the Nats resulted in zero runs. Jordan Zimmermann is poised for a long, successful career, but he has not shown the ability to handle the Marlins where he is 1-3 lifetime with a very hittable 4.38 ERA. Stanton has been his demise, with three home runs against him. Home plate umpire, Schrieber has not been friendly to the Nationals, as the Nats are just 3-8 when he calls balls and strikes. Washington certainly is the better team here, but the line, under the circumstances, is just too bullish on them. Take Miami.
