The Nats enter June riding high with a record of 31-29. However, now is when the real test starts. June was when things really unraveled for the Nats last year. I would like to think the foundation is stronger this year, but we need to see things play out some more. This series against the Marlins<\/a> is a big measuring stick.<\/p>\n

Dylan Crews<\/a> is out of the lineup for a second straight game with a sore hand. However, it sounds like he will be back in there tomorrow. It is a pretty similar lineup to yesterday. One change is that Nasim Nunez<\/a> will replace Jorbit Vivas<\/a> at second base. Cade Cavalli<\/a> pitched more like a frontline starter in May, going deep into games consistently. He will look to keep that up tonight.<\/p>\n

The Marlins lineup has been carried by three players. Otto Lopez<\/a>, Xavier Edwards<\/a> and Liam Hicks<\/a> have done the heavy lifting this year. Meanwhile, players like Jakob Marsee<\/a>, Kyle Stowers<\/a> and Owen Caissie<\/a> have been underperforming. There was a time when Sandy Alcantara<\/a> was a dominant ace in this league. However, he has been more of a mid rotation innings eater since his Cy Young season. He can still be brilliant at his best though, and hopefully we don\u2019t see that version of Sandy tonight.<\/p>\n

The Nats are in an unfamiliar spot. They are beginning a series where the expectation is to win and take care of business. After three straight series wins over good teams, they face a 26-34 Marlins squad. They can\u2019t let their guard down, or else the Fish will surprise them.
