Washington at Miami

The Miami Marlins have a young team, and they may have left a lot of emotion on the field last night as they plated 4 runs in the final frame to win 7-6 last night. They will have to work much harder against Stephen Strasburg tonight to get a second win, as Strasburg is one of the top pitchers in the NL. Henderson Alvarez has been strong this season, but he has never found the win column in six starts vs. Washington where he owns an 0-3 record, with three no decisions. The Nationals have been dominating when facing a team that scored 5 or more runs in their previous game at 29-10 in their last 39, and have seldom failed on the road as a favorite vs. a losing team at 59-29 in their last 78. The Marlins have been a colossal struggle at home vs. a winning team where they are 2-9 in their last 11. Take Washington in this one.
