This is an 8* play UNDER Washington-Miami

Miami just fired its hitting coach. Considering they had scored the fewest number of runs in all of baseball, it was a predictable move. In their first game since the firing, they scored nine runs in a shocking display against Max Scherzer and in the process guaranteed they'd win their first series all year. We seriously doubt it was all on the hitting coach though and with the hitters remaining the same, expect the Marlins struggles at the plate to continue moving forward. They'll have to face arch nemesis Stephen Strasburg today. Strasburg has had Miami's number through the years. In 31 career games, he's 17-7 against them with a 3.02 ERA. In 173 innings pitched, he has 182 strikeouts. Miami will go with Trevor Richards, who has a killer changeup, but zero wins. But with the Nationals having been held to four runs or less in seven of the last eight games, Richards may very well be in line for that elusive victory today. Regardless, this will be a low-scoring affair. Play UNDER Washington-Miami
