Nationals are red hot and in their last 21 games their starting pitching has a 2.68 ERA with the bullpen at 1.94. They give the ball to Jason Marquis who has been excellent with a 2.62 ERA at home and in 3 starts vs. the Mariners he's got a 1-0 record with a 2.45 ERA. Seattle is 9-22 in their last 31 game #3's and I expect them to struggle to score runs. Nationals are red hot scoring 6.35 runs per 9 vs. RHP in their last 10 games and they are 13-3 in Maruis last 16 starts. Pineda is starting to come back to reality his actual 2.64 ERA is still far lower than his XFIP trending ERA at 3.52 he's been lucky too with a .249 BABIP. His 3.32 ERA away is not as impressive as his 1.99 at home expect the Nationals to stay hot in the early one. Mariners are dead last in OPS during day games with a dreadful .614.
