These clubs were in the thick of the NL Wild Card race not that long ago, but they have both stumbled in August. The Marlins, who are four games out of the final NL playoff spot, are 12-13 this month after dropped the first two games of this four-game set at Nationals Park. The Nats, who our eight games back, are 10-17 in August and were on the wrong end of a three-game sweep against the Marlins last weekend in Miami.
Washington is now trying to return the favor. It crushed the Marlins in Friday's opener and won in extra innings Saturday on a walk-off hit from former No. 2 overall Draft pick Dylan Crews.
If you're looking for players to watch, keep your eyes on the middle of the infield. Marlins shortstop Otto Lopez ranks third in the National League with a .306 batting average while the Nationals' CJ Abrams is nearing a 30-30 campaign, with 29 homers and 26 stolen bases. An All-Star shortstop, Abrams is making his first start of the season at second base today.
The starting pitchers are Marlins right-hander Janson Junk and Nationals rookie southpaw Andrew Alvarez.
