The Nationals are coming into this game with a 21-35 record overall and they are 12-17 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 3 game winning streak. They just won their 4-game series against the Cincinnati Reds 3-1, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Marlins on Wednesday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Wednesday with the series opener still to be played on Tuesday. Joan Adon is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while Josiah Gray will be on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 6-4 with a 4.71 ERA this season. His team won 3 of their last 4 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 1 HR, and 3 BB with 9 Ks on 2 hits in 6 IP against the Cincinnati Reds. They scored 24 runs in their last series averaging 6 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 25 runs against them averaging just over 6 runs allowed per game.

 

The Marlins are coming into this game with a 22-30 record overall and they are 9-18 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just split their 4-game series against the San Francisco Giants 2-2, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Nationals on Wednesday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Wednesday with the series opener still to be played on Tuesday. Edward Cabrera is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while Sandy Alcantara will be on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 6-2 with a 1.81 ERA this season. His team won their last 5 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 2 BB with 8 strikeouts on 3 hits in 7 innings played against the San Francisco Giants. They scored 15 runs in their last series averaging just under 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 24 runs against them averaging 6 runs allowed per game.

 

The Marlins are coming into this game playing much better in their recent games. They have Alcantara starting in this game for them and he has been one of their best starters all season. He has been consistently good in his starts and he will likely keep the Nationals bats from getting a lot hits here. They are going up against a Nationals team that has also been playing well but they have Josiah Gray on the mound here and he has not been great this season. He has had some very bad starts and it is hard to trust him pitching on the road here. The Marlins have a big advantage with their pitching matchup here and they will likely be able to score runs on Gray here. The best bet here is on the Marlins to win this game.
