Miami Marlins vs Washington Nationals 9/25/22 MLB Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Washington Nationals and the Miami Marlins meet in an NL East division matchup in MLB action from LoanDepot Park on Sunday.

The Washington Nationals will try to bounce back from a 4-1 loss at the hands of the Marlins in Saturday’s matchup. Cesar Hernandez has 133 hits with 27 doubles while Maikel Franco also has 85 hits and 15 doubles of his own. Keibert Ruiz also has 22 doubles and Nelson Cruz has 64 RBIs as well this season. Lane Thomas also has 17 home runs and 52 RBIs while Yadiel Hernandez has 41 RBIs as well this season. Anibal Sanchez will start here and is 2-6 with a 4.40 ERA and 38 strikeouts this season.

The Miami Marlins will try to build on their win over the Nats from Saturday’s affair. Jesus Sanchez has 61 hits along with 3 triples, 12 home runs, 33 RBIs and a .205 batting average. Jorge Soler has 13 doubles with 13 home runs of his own and Garrett Cooper has 107 hits, a .260 batting average and 33 doubles while Miguel Rojas also has 35 RBIs and 18 doubles and Avisail Garcia’s got 31 RBIs and 78 hits. Edward Cabrera will start here and is 6-3 with a 2.91 ERA and 67 strikeouts this season.

Washington is 23-50 in their last 73 games overall and 2-6 in their last 8 Sunday games while the under is 4-0-2 in their last 6 division games. Miami is 15-37 in their last 52 games overall and 9-26 in their last 35 home games while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 game three matchups.

I get the reasoning for backing either side in this game, but I think the stronger play is the under here. Miami’s got a strong starter going in Edward Cabrera, but run support has and will continue to be an issue for the Marlins for the rest of the season. On the other side, Washington’s experiencing the same and Anibal Sanchez, we’ve seen lately, is fully capable of tossing a gem and giving the Nats a shot to win games. Give me the under in a first to three wins kind of game.
