Pick

The Marlins come into this Game in second place in the NL East and they are playing very good baseball right now. Miami is starting Sandy Alcantara, who has not been very good this year. Alcantara did pitch well in his last start against the White Sox, but allowed nine earned runs in his previous two starts. Washington is starting Trevor Williams, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. I like the Nationals at home in this spot.
