T.M. Selection: Miami Marlins.

I like the Miami Marlins to win this game against the Washington Nationals on Friday. The Marlins just won their most recent game over the Cardinals but they haven't looked very good lately, losing 3 games in a row before that win. The Nationals are in the opposite position here with a loss in their most recent game but they had won 3 games in a row right before that. They are still a terrible team though and have 1 of the worst records in the NL. The Marlins haven't been great this year but they have been a lot better than the Nats have and I expect the Marlins to get another win here. Trevor Rogers (3-6, 5.86 ERA) is up for the Marlins here and he hasn't looked great this year. He hasn't pitched well in his previous 3 starts but I expect him to bounce back here with a good performance. He has already seen the Nats lineup 2 times this year and he had some of his best starts of the year against them. I think he will have another great start considering the Nats have been terrible and are not very strong on offense. Josiah Gray (6-4, 3.82 ERA) is up for the Nats here and he has been really good lately but that hasn't really been a common theme for him this year either. He had a stretch of some really bad starts where he was giving up 4+ runs per start but has had 5 really good starts in a row now. I don't expect that to continue though and I think the Marlins lineup will be able to bring in some runs on him here. I like the Marlins to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Marlins.
