The Marlins are one half of a game ahead of the Nats, a problem that a series win can fix. The Nats should enjoy this homestand. There are only 136 games left to win and these three might be important come August. The Marlins just took two of three from the Phillies, but are ripe for the picking (or fishing). The Nats should be able to handle the three righties that the Fish are starting, so all three games are potential wins in this series played at Nationals Park.
Monday, 7:05 pm - Jordan Zimmermann vs David Phelps
Phelps has pitched three great starts to date (and a rocky relief outing that accounts for more than half his ERA).
