Miami Marlins
Straily wasn’t too efficient in his last outing, but was able to walk away with a no-decision in a 4-3 win over the New York Mets.
He went 4.2 innings giving up four hits and three earned runs while he struck out five and walked four.
In 97.2 innings of work this season, Straily owns a mediocre 7.83 K/9, a high 4.61 BB/9, a high 1.57 HR/9, and a decent 74.7% LOB%.
The end-result is a sub-par 4.42 ERA and an even worse 5.40 FIP.

Miami has played sub-par baseball in the past week only winning one of their last seven contests.
During that span their lineup is only slashing .208/.288/.281 to go with 11 extra-base hits and 19 RBI.
Washington Nationals
Scherzer was his typical self in his last outing as he put in another quality start, but got the no-decision in a 3-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs. He pitched seven-scoreless innings giving up just three hits while he struck out 11 and walked one.
In 168.2 innings of work, the ace owns an elite strikeout (12.11 K/9) to walk rate (2.13), while he has been stellar containing the long ball (0.91 HR/9) and stranding base runners (84.1% LOB%). The end-result is an elite 2.19 ERA and a higher but still elite 2.63 FIP.
Washington has played sub-par baseball in the past week only winning two of their seven contests. During that span their lineup is slashing .258/.319/.412 to go with 18 extra-base hits and 32 RBI.

Free Miami Marlins vs. Washington Nationals MLB Prediction: Washington edges out Miami at home
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Marlins +1.5 & First 5 Innings UNDER
Straily may have a 4.50 ERA in the month of August, but he has posted his best slash line of the season .156/.372/.250, while he also has pitched better on the road this season.
I don’t expect him to out duel the master, but I expect him to keep this game close, while the score should be low enough to hit the under for the first five innings.
