Washington at Miami

Who better than Max Scherzer to break Washington's losing streak? The Nationals have won his last seven starts and he hasn't allowed more than two runs his last five outings. Scherzer is 2-0 with a 1.74 ERA in September as he is pitching as well now as he has all season. The Nationals have won 16 of Scherzer's last 21 road starts and 10 of his last 11 overall. Scherzer is 4-2 with a 3.44 ERA in his career against the Marlins. Miami is all but out of the playoff picture and the Marlins have lost Tim Koehler's last five starts. Also, the Marlins have lost 19 of Koehler's last 26 starts against teams with winning records. This line still has value with Scherzer on the mound. Play the Nationals.
