The Nationals are making a move winning 11 of their last 15 games to stay in wild card contention. Washington should beat the Marlins by multiple runs in a pitching matchup of rookie Zac Gallen against Patrick Corbin.

As great as Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg are, the Marlins probably would least like to face southpaw Corbin.

The Marlins are 11-23 in their last 34 road games against a lefty starter. They rank 12th in the National League against southpaws with a .239 average and have hit the fewest homers in the NL against lefties.

Cobin has dominated Miami in his two previous starts this season going 2-0 with a 0.56 ERA.

Gallen will be making his third big league start. The Nationals, though, are familar with him having just faced him this past Wednesday at Miami. The Marlins lost that game, 7-5, with Gallen yielding three earned runs in five innings. Corbin was masterful in that victory allowing one run in seven innings. He struck out nine and gave up just three hits and one walk.
