The Miami Marlins and Washington Nationals close out a four-game set on Monday night.

The Nats took the first two games of the series before the Marlins bounced back with a 6-2 victory on Sunday. Still, Miami is just 2-6 in its last eight games as the floundering Fish are falling out of the playoff race.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Marlins vs. Nationals on Monday, Aug. 31.

Ryan Gusto has thrown nine shutout innings over his last two starts, including four scoreless frames against the Nationals on August 21.

Marlins vs. Nationals Best MLB Prop Bets

Nationals Best MLB Prop Bet

• Daylen Lile OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-133)

Daylen Lile is on a little hot streak for the Nationals, going 15 for 37(.405) with three home runs, three doubles, and a triple in his last 10 games. He scored nine runs with 11 RBI in that span as well.

Lile is getting a chance to bat cleanup now as well, which should give him more opportunities to drive in runs.

Marlins vs. Nationals Prediction and Pick

Despite some recent hiccups, the Marlins are still the better team in this matchup, and they have the better pitcher on the mound.

Miami still has something to play for as it sits 3.5 games back of a playoff spot while the Nats are dead in the water at 8.5 games back.

Pick: Marlins -109
