The series is on the line this afternoon, and the Nationals need their ace to be a stopper. Today is a big step in MacKenzie Gore’s progression towards becoming a true ace. Whenever a series was on the line and Max Scherzer had the ball, you knew that the Washington Nationals would win the series.
Now it is time for MacKenzie Gore to get near that level. Of course, Max Scherzer is a future Hall of Famer, so expecting Gore to be that is unfair. However, against a rag tag Marlins lineup, I am looking for Gore to give the Nationals a quality start.
