(MLB) Washington vs. Miami,
Money Line: 126.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Washington Nationals.

I like the Washington Nationals to win this game against the Miami Marlins on Thursday. The Nationals have lost 2 games in a row now, both games being the 1st 2 of this series, but I think they are going to break out of that funk here and get a win avoiding the sweep. The Nats were a huge dog yesterday and they still lost but in a really close game 2-1 and I think they can keep the Marlins from hitting a lot in this game too. Stephen Strasburg (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is up for the Nats here and he hasn't pitched at all this year since he is coming off an injury but he is making his season debut here and I think he is going to pick up where he left off. He has had a really nice career over the years, he only pitched in 5 games last year before his season ended with an injury but he was looking good in those starts and now after having so much time off to recover, I expect him to be better than ever in this start. He hasn't faced the Marlins lineup in years now too and I think that gives him a bit of an advantage here with his pitches in this game. Trevor Rogers (2-5, 5.80 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he hasn't looked good this year. He has had some really bad starts but a majority of them have been happening lately with his previous 3 starts seeing him give up 13 runs total. He is on a downward spiral right now and I don't see him turning it around in this game with the Nats itching for a win in this series here. I expect him to pitch another bad game here and I see the Nats putting up runs in this game. I like the Nationals to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Nationals.
