Nationals hit .264 vs. RHP
Nationals hit .262 on the road
Marlins hit .252 vs. LHP
Marlins hit .265 at home
Scott Olsen goes into Florida tonight with a 7.88 road ERA, allowing a BA of .368 in those games! His last three starts have been terrible, allowing just over 1 run per inning. We are also dealing with Washington's awful bullpen, which sports a 5.88 ERA in road games and a 1-8 WL record.
Ricky Nolasco has been pitching better but he still has a 6.33 home ERA allowing a BA of .342! His last three starts however show a lot of improvement on his part, with a 1.50 ERA in those starts. But we are only relying on a few runs from the Nationals anyways. Not to mention the Marlins bullpen is not all that great, with an ERA of 5.57 at home.
Prediction: WAS 5 FLA 7
*****WASHINGTON/FLORIDA OVER 9 -120
