Miami Marlins over Washington Nationals: Wash is in such a mess they needed a meeting. Wash is 2-8 in their last 10 shutout 3X in their past 10 and are 5-17 in their last 22. Win or lose with Hellickson on the mound they should not be favored in this range against anyone including Mia. In offense starting pitching and bullpen worst case it is even so the only adv home field. Hellickson will give 5 inngs 3 runs on a normal trip. Lopez has rocketed to the majors. His 1st start very good against the Nym. The nerves will be gone for his second start. Lopez dominated in AA and AAA this year. Prado is expected to be activated for tonight’s game. Lastly if Mia does have a lead going into the 9th they have a very good closer no one has heard of by the name of Barraclough.
