Miami Marlins vs. Washington Nationals Prediction: Will Marlins Struggle Against Mitchell Parker, Nationals?
The Marlins have lost four games in a row. They have only scored one run in this series against the Nationals in Washington this weekend, facing a lefty in both games. They will have to face another thriving left-hander on Sunday afternoon as they look to salvage the series against the Nationals…

Miami Marlins vs. Washington Nationals Prediction
Mitchell Parker has been a pleasant surprise for the Nationals this season. After becoming the first pitcher in Nationals history to allow three or less runs in his first ten starts, Parker will get another chance against one of the worst LHP-facing teams in baseball. Will he dominate the Marlins on Sunday, giving the Nationals the sweep and moving them to within a game of playing .500 baseball?
It’s not going to be easy for Washington to pull off the sweep on Sunday. Jesus Luzardo will be on the bump for Miami. He’s coming off four great starts in his last five outings (minus his blowout start against Tampa Bay), and the Nationals have struggled against lefties this season. Instead of backing them to pull off the series sweep as favorites, let’s isolate the Marlins offensive struggles…
Miami has been the worst team in baseball this season against left-handed pitching. They’ve been dominated by lefties on the Nationals all series, and I don’t see anything changing on Sunday with Mitchell Parker on the bump. The Nationals offense has been unpredictable this season, so instead of backing them on the moneyline or trying to target the total, let’s take a look at the Marlins team total…
After getting dominated in the first two games of the series, you can bet the Marlins to score less than four runs at plus money on most books. I like the Nationals chances of limiting the Marlins success offensively on Sunday. Bet them to score three or less runs in the final game of this series as the Nationals young lefties continue to dominate and over-perform.
