Nationals vs. Marlins Predicted Outcome

Jake Irvin’s regression and pro-offensive conditions tilt this matchup toward scoring. With Washington riding a wave of momentum—scoring in bunches recently—Miami’s home edge and stable form likely carry them past a Nationals team capable of a slugfest, but not enough to win. Expect a game that leans toward the over, with the Marlins edging out a close win, perhaps 6–4.
