MLB Premium Play 08/29: Washington Nationals @ Miami Marlins


MLB - 911 Washington Nationals @ 912 Miami Marlins

(Starting Pitchers: R. Detwiler vs J. Turner)

Washington is now struggling with five losses in a row and to try to end their losing streak, they will start Detwilder who is coming from an outing against Atlanta, where he allowed just two runs and seven hits in 5.1 innings, with a 3.38 ERA, 2.16 FIP and 2.98 xFIP. Prior to that start, he was already looking to be in good form, as he had just allowed a total of nine earned runs on his last 24.2 IP. So, against a lowly offense like the Marlins, I believe Detwiler will have a good outing tonight.

Turner will have his second start for Miami, after allowing three runs in six innings against Arizona on his debut for Miami. His debut was very solid and he is a top prospect, so we can expect good things from him. He wasn't being well used in Detroit, but he looked much better on his Marlins debut with 4.50 ERA, 3.59 FIP and 2.65 xIP on his outing against the Dbacks. This is a good spot for him, as the Nationals are struggling on their hitting and they've never faced him before, so I believe Turner will have another quality outing tonight.

With both starting pitchers having the right conditions to have a good outing tonight, I expect this game to be a low scoring game and so, I'll be taking the Under in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 911/912 Under 8 (w/ R. Detwiler & J. Turner) @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
