| MLB | (903) Miami Marlins at (904) Washington Nationals | 6:45pm EDT - Jun 2/2026 |
The PLAY: Over +9 (-120) Action
You can do a lot worse than go Over on a Nationals game. The Over is 38-20-3 in Washington's games this season. That is 65.5 percent!
I see that trend continuing here with the Marlins set for a bullpen game and Washington giving the ball to the egregious Miles Mikolas.
The Nationals have that perfect combination for being a great Over team. They lead the majors in runs with an excellent blend of power and speed. But their pitching is terrible and their fielding is the worst in the league.
Miami is expected to open with Lake Bachar. He hasn't pitched more than 2 1/3 innings in a game all season. The Nationals are averaging 5.5 runs during their last seven games.
Mikolas is 1-4 with a 5.72 ERA and only 32 strikeouts in 50 1/3 innings. The Nationals have a bottom 10 bullpen.
