MLB Odds: Marlins-Nationals prediction, odds and pick

Miami's record is 59-86, fourth place in the NL East, and they are out of playoff contention. Washington's 50-94 record and the trade of Juan Soto at the deadline may be the beginning of a painful rebuild.

Trevor Rogers will start for Miami today. Rogers has a 4-11 record and 5.35 ERA in 22 starts. Steven Okert has been a bright spot for the team with a 2.50 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 50.1 innings. Dylan Floro has also provided solid relief, pitching to a 3.45 ERA. Miami's offense has not improved since the loss of Jorge Soler. Jesus Aguilar was released and Jesus Sanchez is the only active Marlin with double-digit home runs.

Erick Fedde is having a bad season with a 5.24 ERA. Kyle Finnegan has taken over closer duties with Tanner Rainey out. The Nationals' bullpen is 20th in the league in ERA, with Carl Edwards the best option.

Washington's offense has been abysmal since the loss of Juan Soto and Josh Bell. Lane Thomas now leads the team with 15 home runs and a .252 batting average. Nelson Cruz has hit 10 home Runs and 16 Doubles, leading the Washington team in walks with 49. Rookie Joey Menses has impressed in his 38 games, hitting ten doubles and nine homeruns. Switch-hitting catcher Keibert Ruiz is hitting .251 with seven home Hits. Luke Voit has also been solid since coming over from San Diego. Victor Robles leads Washington with 14 stolen bases. Washington's . 252 batting Average is the tenth-best in the league.

The final game of the series between the Miami Marlins and the Washington Nationals is a slugfest.
