The Washington Nationals are coming off three consecutive overs, and I think this opener of a three-game series with the Miami Marlins have the potential to go over the posted number.

The Nats hand the ball to Max Scherzer (12-5, 2.25 ERA). He has posted a 3.38 ERA in 13 career starts against the Marlins and has has not pitched since Aug. 13 as he's been bothered by a sore neck. Note that over is 6-1-1 in Scherzer's last eight starts overall and over is 5-2 in the Marlins last seven games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15.

Jose Urena (12-5, 3.68 ERA) will toe the slab for the Fish. He has posted a 3.93 ERA in the seven appearances against the Nats and he has posted a 4.05 ERA in 13 appearances (10 starts) on the road this season. He's still 8-0 in those games and Miami is averaging a healthy 5.05 runs per game away from home on the season (4.77 rpg overall).

My selection is an 8* play on Over.
