2020-09-20 16:10:00 EDT
The Washington Nationals and Miami Marlins meet Sunday in game two of an MLB doubleheader at Marlins Park.
The Washington Nationals need a win after losing six of their last nine games. The Nationals have scored 11 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in four of their last eight games. The Nationals have won three of their last four games when scoring four or more runs. Trea Turner leads the Nationals with 67 hits and 29 RBI while Juan Soto and Asdrubal Cabrera have combined for 83 hits and 57 RBI. The Washington Nationals didn’t list a starting pitcher at the time this article was published.
The Miami Marlins look for a win after winning six of their last nine games. The Marlins have scored 21 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last eight games. The Marlins have won five straight games when scoring four or more runs. Brian Anderson leads the Marlins with 47 hits and 35 RBI while Jesus Aguilar and Corey Dickerson have combined for 86 hits and 46 RBI. The Miami Marlins didn’t list a starting pitcher at the time this article was published.
Will update with trends once they’re released.
It’s always tough to predict the second game of a doubleheader without knowing the result of the first contest, and it’s even tougher when neither team announced a starting pitcher for this game. I can only go off form heading into this contest, and I’d have to give the edge to the Marlins. The Miami Marlins have been the better team throughout the season and have found their offense in this series, mainly in the last two contests. The Washington Nationals continue to struggle finishing games and the offense has issues sustaining success. The Marlins have played like the better team this season and need to keep winning if they’re going to lockup a playoff spot.
Give me the Marlins in the second game of the doubleheader, the team in better form and playing for something in the final week of the regular season.
