This is the fifth straight road game for Washington, dropping two in a row as the offense has stalled scoring three runs. Washington goes with Stephen Strasburg, who got to face the punchless Braves in his first two starts. Against Florida he was 1-2 with a 4.95 ERA in four starts in 2015 as Miami hit .305 off him. He faces a Marlins team that is fifth in baseball in on base percentage and batting average. Marlins 2B Dee Gordon has a four-game hitting streak and has reach safely in 10 of 11 contests. Miami comes off a 6-1 victory yesterday over Washington as slugger Giancarlo Stanton homered and delivered an RBI single while Marcell Ozuna drove in a pair of runs. Miami has a good lefty going in Adam Conley (3.86 ERA), striking out 11 in seven innings with only three walks. Conley pitched six scoreless innings his last time out against the Mets, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out nine, so jump on the home dog and play on Miami.
