Cash Out Sports Picks backed the Marlins on the money-line, calling the near −200 price on Washington "bad business." The Nationals have dropped seven straight overall and are just 6-8 in Mackenzie Gore’s 14 starts, so his excellent 2.88 ERA and No. 2 strikeout ranking have not translated to easy wins. Miami, meanwhile, has already taken the first two games of the set and hands the ball to electric rookie Uri Perez, whose raw stuff gives them a ceiling edge once he settles in. The tout framed the wager as a pure fade of an ice-cold club being taxed as if it were surging, noting, "you simply cannot lay that kind of juice with a team that hasn't won in a week."

Drew Martin is also playing the over on MacKenzie Gore’s strike-out prop. Gore owns a sub-2.80 ERA/FIP combo and has already racked up 101 strikeouts in 2025. He now faces a Marlins offense Martin called "bottom five in Major League Baseball" and one that strikes out heavily against left-handed pitching. With the former No. 3 overall pick carrying an 11.4 K/9 rate and working deeper into games, Martin expects Gore to clear any total that books hang in the 5.5–6.5 range.

Cash Out Sports Picks backed the Miami Marlins moneyline thanks to Edward Cabrera’s surge: a 1.78 ERA over his last five starts, with Miami winning four of them. Cabrera has allowed only seven earned runs on 30 hits across his last 31 innings. Washington’s offense, meanwhile, has produced just two total runs in Mitchell Parker’s last three outings and is batting .196 over its past 10 games. Parker himself has yielded three-plus earned runs in four of his last eight. Factor in the Nationals’ shaky bullpen and the tout sees a clear starting-pitching and value edge with Miami.

Kenny G leaned to Washington at –125 behind rookie left-hander Mitchell Parker. Parker just held Texas to one earned over six innings and already logged a quality start against Miami back in April (6 IP, 3 ER in a 7-4 Nationals win). Miami counters with Edward Cabrera, who owns a respectable 3.99 ERA but is backed by MLB’s sixth-worst bullpen (4.66 ERA) and an offense that has scored three or fewer in six of its last seven. Washington’s lineup has scuffled too, yet Kenny trusts their home splits (15-18 is disappointing but still better than Miami’s 11-21 road mark) and believes Parker’s strike-throwing gives the Nats a slight edge. Price is a bit steep for two bad teams, so he projects the pick more as a small play or parlay piece, but he is clear the Nationals are the side.
