The third game on this Saturday’s MLB schedule will feature a clash between the Washington Nationals and the Miami Marlins, two NL East Division teams directly competing to move closer to Wild Card spots. Even though the Marlins won the first game of the series and the odds favor them to win this game, they are expected to struggle because of their lack of batting consistency.
Taking this into account, even though the Miami Marlins chose Eury Pérez as the opening pitcher for this game, he isn’t expected to receive enough support from the batters to secure his seventh victory of the season. Despite this, it would be a mistake to ignore that Pérez is one of the top pitchers on the Marlins’ roster, as he has recorded 133 strikeouts throughout the regular season.
On the Washington Nationals’ side, they aren’t expected to qualify for the playoffs, so the current season has become an internal competition to build practice and consistency for the upcoming season. With this in mind, one of the players who needs to prove his quality sooner rather than later is Jake Irvin, who currently has a 2W-7L record as a starting pitcher this season.
