Marlins vs Nationals Prediction 4/12/25 MLB Picks Today

In this article, we will formulate a Marlins vs Nationals Prediction for this MLB game on Saturday, April 12th, at LoanDepot Park. Let’s take a look at a Miami Marlins vs Washington Nationals pick. 

Nationals Offense Impressed

The Nationals offense sure looked good on Friday and they are going to look to run up the score here again. The Nationals scored seven runs, including five in the last two innings, and that was enough for the comeback victory. Josh Bell had a strong game hitting a home run and driving in two RBIs. Mitchell Parker had a strong game going six innings giving up five hits, three earned runs, and three strikeouts. 

The Nationals are averaging 4.62 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.76 runs per game. The offense is ranked 11th, and that part of their game looks to be really underrated this season. Getting the start for the nationals wil lbe Trevor Williams who sits with a 1-0 record and an ERA of 5.50. Against the Arizona Diamodnbacks he went five innings giving up five hits and three runs. 

Marlins Bullpen Blew It

The Marlins had to feel like they were going to come out on top, until they the bullpen blew it late. Luabert Arias went one inning and finished with two hits and two runs. Anthony Bender went one inning and gave up a run. The Bullpen did use four members, and whoever starts in this game, is going to need to be a whole lot better. Two games ago against the New York Mets, the Marlins were knocked of 5-0. The Marlins have lost four games in a row. 

The Marlins are averaging 3.62 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.69 runs per game. A negative run differential of -1.07 is not good. Matt Mervis has hit three home runs and driven in seven RBIs. Getting the start for the Marlins will be Sandy Alcantara and in the last game he went five innings giving up two earned runs. 

Why the Marlins Will Beat the Nationals

• The Nationals have lost eight of their last nine road games following a win.
• The Marlins have won six of their last eight home games against NL East opponents following a loss.
• The Marlins have covered the run line in seven of their last eight home games against NL East opponents following a loss.
• The Nationals have failed to cover the run line in each of their last four games as road underdogs after playing the previous day.
• The Marlins have led after 5 innings in each of their last three home games against National League opponents.

Marlins vs Nationals Prediction

The Marlins blew the game on Friday, but this game is going to be different. Sandy Alcantara will get the start for the Marlins and although he hasn’t been dominant this season, this is a great bounce back spot for him. He hasn’t been awful in either of the two starts, and even if he gives up a couple of runs here, that won’t be too many. The Marlins are 5-0 in their last 5 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30. Back the Marlins on the money line to cash here.
