Washington at Miami

Miami has a chance to climb closer out of last place as it plays fourth-place Washington in a battle of teams going nowhere. The Nationals will face Jesus Luzardo for the first time, and Erick Fedde goes for Washington. He owns a 5.14 ERA and .261 opponent batting average overall (5.29 and .279 on the road). Also, Fedde is 2-6 with a 5.46 ERA in night games, and he has given up 12 earned runs on 23 hits in 19 2/3 innings in August. The Nationals have lost 21 of their past 29 overall as they start a mini-rebuilding plan. They have also lost 15 of 18 versus NL East teams. Miami is 59-29 its past 88 games as a home favorite. Take the Marlins.
