The Miami Marlins will open a three-game series against a familiar foe when they take on the Washington Nationals tonight. It is a battle of two teams who are trying to climb out of horrific losing stretches, as the Marlins have not won a series in two weeks, while the Nationals have lost eight out of their last nine games.
Miami will call on Edward Cabrera to make the start in this one. It is hard to quantify how good Cabrera is, in large part because he excels at giving up tons of walks and base hits, but seems to find a way out of the jam nearly every time. In his last start, Cabrera gave up six hits and three walks over four innings to the Tampa Bay Rays, but still managed to hold them to a single run. The Nationals are not exactly hot at the plate, so this game presents a good opportunity for a cleaner outing from Cabrera.
Left-hander Mitchell Parker will be asked to go toe-to-toe with Cabrera. While his numbers are not quite as good, there is reason to believe he will put together a quality start against the Marlins. His history against the Miami lineup is excellent, as only two Marlins hitters have recorded multiple base hits against him throughout his career with the Nationals. As long as Parker keeps things under control by finding the strike zone early, the Nationals will stick around in this game.

Marlins vs Nationals Predictions and Picks
David Delano of Winners and Whiners, "Cabrera looked shaky early on, but he's locked in now. The Marlins are 4-1 in his last five starts, and he's posted a sharp 1.78 ERA over that stretch. Meanwhile, the Nationals haven't been doing much with the bats and are just 2-5 in Mitchell Parker's last seven outings. Neither team is exactly hot, but Cabrera's current form and Washington's unreliable bullpen tilt the edge toward Miami. I'll take the Marlins at plus money in this spot."
The Marlins are a decent pick in this spot. Cabrera has somehow been able to keep opponents off the scoreboard, and the Nationals have been ice-cold in every way. Miami should overcome its road jitters and find a way to get the win in this one.
