Miami at Washington

Washington is still rolling along, off a 5-1 win yesterday. The Nationals have outscored opponents by +130 runs, tops in the NL. They have great balance, ninth in baseball in runs and on base percentage, and 10th in slugging. The Nationals are 10-0 in Jordan Zimmermann's (13-5, 2.78 ERA) last 10 outings. Miami is a terrible road team and winds up the season here with the Marlins 7-20 in their last 27 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. The Marlins are 3-7 in Henderson Alvarez's last 10 road starts vs. a team with a winning record, and the Nationals are 25-9 against a right-handed starter. Zimmermann has been on a roll, 7-0 with a 2.43 ERA in 12 starts since the All-Star break, with the Nationals winning 11 of them. He is 6-0 with a 3.06 ERA in his last 10 starts versus Miami. And the Marlins are 7-21 in the last 28 meetings in Washington. Play Washington.
