Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 6/15/25, 9:56 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 2/11/26 at 8:29 AM in MLB Picks

The Nationals lost their seventh straight game in their worst 2025 losing streak, and against the Marlins at Nationals Park, they risk being swept by the Marlins after losing the first game 9-11 and the second 3-4.

On Saturday, the Marlins had an 11-hit day, while the Nats only managed 7. Jesus Sanchez hit a key home run in the seventh inning. As for pitching, the Marlins used three pitchers in the first three innings, but Junk pitched the long way, throwing 5.2 scoreless innings, and Fauci recorded his seventh save of the season.

Dave Martinez seemed frustrated by the Nats' slump but asked the media or fans not to blame the coaches or anyone in particular for the team's poor performance.

In the betting, the Nationals lost as favorites again in DC, but the bookies will insist on their favoritism when Gore comes out to pitch for the Nats, with a season-low ERA of 2.88 and a surprising number of strikeouts at 114.
