Predicted Outcome
Given the Nationals' strong recent offensive surge and Marlins' pitching problems, taking the Nationals with the spread (-1.5) offers value. However, moneyline favors Marlins but with low confidence due to form. Total runs will likely go over 8.5 reflecting both teams' pitching struggles and recent high-scoring games.
Predicted Score: Marlins 5 – Nationals 7
