Miami at Washington

The Nationals lost 2-of-3 here to the Phillies. Their sputtering offense was held in check, producing only 5 total runs in the three games. Josh Johnson has been solid all season and has kicked out a 2.60 ERA in his last three starts. He should contain the sluggish Nats’ offense here. Gio Gonzalez started the season on fire but over his last three starts, he's produced a 5.51 ERA. Over the past three seasons, Miami is 73-53 vs. left-handers like Gonzalez. Meanwhile, Johnson is 29-15 as an underdog including 18-10 as a road underdog. The Marlins have owned this series at 57-25 in the last 82 meetings including 13-4 in the last 17 in Washington. In Game 2 of the doubleheader, play on Miami.
