Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 9/13/24, 3:13 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

The Marlins and Nationals meet in Game 2 of the series. The Marlins took the first game and in the second game the scheduled pitchers to face each other are Hertz for the Nationals and Cabrera for the Marlins.

Cabrera has a 4-6 record and a high ERA of 4.88. Against the Nationals in his career he has a 2-2 record so far and also has a high ERA of 4.97. Cabrera has already faced the Nationals this season and it did not go well for him as he allowed 5 ER in 4.1 IP in games that the Marlins would end up losing 4-11. However, the Marlins have won as underdogs the last two times Cabrera started and his last outing was a notable one where he pitched 7 innings against the Phillies without allowing a run and striking out 6.

The Marlins eventually won the last two games against the Nationals, but the Nationals have had a very pronounced dominance over the Miami team with the Nationals winning 8 of the last 10 games against the Marlins, all in 2024.

Hertz, the Nationals' scheduled pitcher, is also coming off a good last outing where he pitched 5 innings, struck out 5 and did not allow a run to the Pirates.
