The Marlins are winless at home and riding a 4 game losing streak after being swept by the Braves. The Nats are coming off a late inning loss in Philly, after winning the series and stringing 7 wins together before last night. The Nationals are a top tier hitting team and boast the best fielding in baseball. Roark goes for the Nationals, a right hander who rebounded well from a rough first start, to shut out the Braves and go 7 innings. This guy has solid career numbers through 50 games started and has the luxury of handing the ball off to a top 5 bullpen. Jose Fernandez has given up 6 earned runs over 10.6 total innings and is obviously being limited by the team, going no more than 5 or so innings in each of his two starts, which doesn't look good for them considering they have a top tier "fade" bullpen. I'll take this dog against an overvalued starter on a losing team.
