Miami has taken the first two in this series, but the Nats are still a money making choice playing as an underdog this season. Josh Johnson is still showing the ill effects of missing almost the entire season a year ago and he enters here with an ERA of 4.87. He certainly has not been the top of the rotation pitcher we have seen in the past. Chien Ming Wang was given a shot by the Nats and he has pitched much better as he has overcome a host of injuries and is 5-3 in a Nats uniform. He certainly has a winning pedigree with a 60-29 career mark. The Nats are 22-7 in their last 29 vs. a pitcher with a WHIP greater than 1.30, while the Marlins have had a longterm struggle against righthand pitchers where they are a woeful 19-39 in their last 58 facing them. Play on Washington.
