Marlins vs. Nationals Best MLB Prop Bet

Xavier Edwards Home Run (+1200) via FanDuel

If you want to bet on a long shot to hit a home run tonight, consider Xavier Edwards. He has already hit six home runs this season, and he's second on the team in slugging percentage at .476. He and the Marlins will face Miles Mikolas, who has one of the highest home run allowed rates in the Majors, giving up 2.0 home runs per nine innings pitched.

Marlins vs. Nationals Prediction and Pick

Instead of betting a side in this game, I'm looking at the total and betting the OVER. Mikolas has had a rough 2026 campaign for the Nationals, with a 5.72 ERA and a 1.411 ERA. With that being said, I also have no desire to bet against a Nationals lineup that ranks fourth in the Majors in wRC+ at 109 over the past 30 days.

Neither bullpen has been especially good this season either, especially Washington's. They have a bullpen ERA of 4.61, which ranks 22nd in baseball. Even if Mikolas survives his start, their bullpen may give up the last few runs we need to cash the OVER.

Pick: OVER 9 (-106) via FanDuel
