Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins Prediction

Valente Bellozo doesn’t have the sample size to completely trust, especially on the road, but he’s been sharp over his last 11.1 innings. Patrick Corbin has been one of the worst pitchers in all of baseball the last few years, and I’ve been fading him blindly every chance. Since 2021, Corbin has a 5.71 ERA and 1.53 WHIP, along with a 30-63 record. Its brutal folks. Getting plus money to fade Corbin? Sign me up. Give me the Marlins at the more favorable price.
