The Miami Marlins head into Wednesday’s series finale at Nationals Park looking to complete the sweep. Miami has taken the first two games by identical 7-3 scores, fueled by a lineup that erupted for back-to-back-to-back home runs from Joe Mack, Heriberto Hernandez, and Otto Lopez in Tuesday’s matchup. Hernandez, who has three homers in the series, has been particularly tough for Washington to contain.
On the mound, the Marlins hand the ball to Max Meyer (5-0, 2.97 ERA), who has been one of the best stories in baseball this season. The Nationals counter with lefty Andrew Alvarez (1-0, 4.02 ERA), who has struggled since moving from the bullpen into Jake Irvin’s vacated rotation spot.

Max Meyer Under 2.5 Earned Runs (-115): It took a few years, but Max Meyer is finally pitching like the No. 3 overall pick Miami drafted back in 2020. Through 12 starts, Meyer is 5-0 with a 2.97 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 74 strikeouts in 66.2 innings – all career bests, and we haven’t even reached the halfway point of the season yet. He’s kept opponents under 2.5 earned runs in 7 of his last 10 outings and 8 of 12 on the season. Washington’s offense is no pushover – the Nationals rank among the NL’s best in several categories – but Meyer is in a prime bounce-back spot after his worst start of the year against the Mets last Friday. With the Marlins on the verge of a sweep, expect him to be locked in this afternoon.
