Nationals at Marlins 5/27/18 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Nationals are a couple of games behind the Braves in the standings right now. However, the Nationals are are really starting to look like the team that could press on as long as they are able to play a lot on the road. For some reason the Nationals did not do to well in the last home stand they had. The Marlins on the other hand are going to try to get out of this season without being seen as the worst team in baseball.

The Marlins are coming into the game with a hitting average of .231, but are horrible at getting runners home as the Marlins rank dead last with 172 runs being scored. The Marlins pitching staff is not doing to well either with a team ERA of 4.96.

The Marlins are countering with Elieser Hernandez. Hernandez on the season has managed to get a total of 13 innings in 2 starts out of 4 games total. He has a 2.08 ERA. He has a 0-1 record with only 6 strikeouts.
