Washington Nationals vs Miami Marlins Prediction

I’m not running to the window to back either the Marlins or Nationals, given they’re both counting the days until the offseason. I also don’t want to lay juice on either side. With that said, the Washington Nationals are at home and DJ Herz has been sharper than Edward Cabrera. While he has raw stuff, Cabrera hasn’t been good this season and most of his struggles have come on the road. Herz hasn’t been half bad, and he has had some of his best Games at home. I’ll lay the reasonable price with the Nats if forced to pick.
