Game 150 lineups: Nats at Marlins

Game 150 lineups: Nats at Marlins

If you feel like you've seen the Nationals and Marlins play each other enough already this season, well, join the club. Alas, there are three games remaining on the head-to-head schedule between these two division foes and those will be taking place over the next three nights.

When they wrap things up Wednesday night, the Nats will have faced the Marlins 19 times for the season, but nine times over the previous month. That's a lot. And the result of this series in Miami could go a long way toward determining who finishes fourth and who finishes fifth in the National League East. (Entering tonight, the 61-88 Nationals are two games behind the 63-86 Marlins.)

Thumbnail image for Fedde-Fires-Blue-NYM-Sidebar.jpgThe pitching matchup looks awfully familiar as well, with Erick Fedde squaring off against Jesús Luzardo for the third time in a month. Fedde was victorious each time, further establishing his dominance of the Marlins. (He's 4-0 with a 1.10 ERA and 0.949 WHIP in six career starts against them.)

The Nationals lineup features both Josh Bell and Ryan Zimmerman. It's the fifth time Bell has started in the outfield this season, and his time out there has been rather uneventful so far. There's a lot of ground to cover at loanDepot Park, though, so this might be his biggest test to date.
