Scherzer shines again

Granderson drives in lone run

Miami fell by a count of 5-1 at home Tuesday night against Washington to drop to 30-47 overall and 13-26 at home. Curtis Granderson helped lead the Marlins as he ended the game 1-for-3 with an RBI. Miguel Rojas went 2-for-3 with a double. Brian Anderson finished 1-for-3 with a walk and a run. Trevor Richards took the loss as he surrendered six earned runs on seven hits over five innings, striking out three and walking two.

MLB Betting Trends

Washington

The Nationals are 4-0 in their last four Wednesday games. Washington is 0-4 in the last four Corbin road starts.

Miami

The Marlins are 4-1 in their last five games. Miami is 2-9 in its last 11 home games.

Prediction:

Corbin hadn't been in the best of form, but rebounded with a fantastic outing his last time out at home versus Philadelphia. With Miami's offense nothing to write home about, he should excel again. Gallen has a ton of promise, but he's a rookie and might have to be close to perfect. Expect Gallen and/or the bullpen to falter in a Nationals win.
