The Line: Marlins -110, Nats -110, O/U 8.5 Runs, Marlins -1.5
When: 1:10 EST
The Starters: Strasburg (9-4, 2.82) vs. Nolasco (8-6, 4.35)
The Line: Nats -120, Marlins 100, O/U 7.5 Runs, Nats -1.5
Starters – Stephen Strasburg takes the mound for the Nationals tonight in an attempt to hit double digit wins for the first time in his young career. Strasbeast has struggled a bit lately by his standards, with a 3.76 era in his last 10 starts, but with some extra rest and a big ballpark to pitch in, he should return to dominance tonight. The Marlins will counter with Ricky Nolasco, who like Strasburg is mired in a bit of a slump himself, with an era near 5 in his last 10. However, Ricky has been better his last 3 starts and I think he’ll be pretty solid tonight. Advantage Nationals
When: 1:10 EST
The Starters: Zimmermann (3-4, 2.47) vs. Zambrano (2-3, 2.85)
The Line: Marlins -115, Nats +105, O/U 7.5 Runs, Marlins -1.5
Starters – Both of these Z-men are off to great starts in 2012 with sub 3 eras but have had some tough luck with both having records under .500. Zambrano is coming off of his worst start of the year (5 IP, 7 ER vs. Rockies) and Zimmermann has had a truly terrible start all year (worst was 6 IP, 4 ER vs. Pirates). These two are pretty even right now but Zimmermann has been more consistant so he gets the edge. Advantage Nationals
