The Miami Marlins have been downright terrible at home this season, with the club going 0-5 at Marlins Park with three of those losses coming against the abysmal Atlanta Braves. If there is one positive to take from the losses, it's that three of the five were by just one run. Miami will try for their first win of the season at home when they host the Washington Nationals Monday.
- The Nationals are 7-1 in their past eight games.
- Daniel Murphy has a .778 on-base percentage vs the Marlins this season.
- The OVER is 8-3 in the Marlins past 11 games dating back to last season.
Jose Fernandez will make his third start of the season after some mediocre performances so far. Fernandez has not pitched a full six innings through his first two games while posting a 5.06 ERA. It has been hit-or-miss for Fernandez as he's allowed eight hits and six runs in his first two starts, while notching 18 strikeouts.
Tanner Roark will get his second start of the year against the Marlins after the ‘Fins roughed him up in the first outing. Roark went just four innings while giving up nine hits and four runs against Miami on April 7.
