New York Mets

Mets (18-7) VS Nationals (11-13)

Washington Nationals
Moneyline Pick – New York Mets (-170): A-

The New York Mets head to Washington riding a seven-game winning streak, while the Nationals are still searching for answers despite a decent run as of late. Injuries continue to thin Washington’s pitching depth, and New York’s bullpen has been dominant, leading MLB in ERA with 2.34. With the Mets’ lineup heating up and Washington’s rotation struggling to find consistency, laying the chalk with New York grades out as a solid, though not perfect, play given the form trends in their favor.

Honestly, if you're riding streaks, this one's tough to pass up. The Mets are finally looking like the team people expected, and Washington just doesn't have the arms right now to slow them down. Little juice on the road? Worth it if the bats stay hot.

Over/Under Pick - Over 8.5, (-110): B+

The New York Mets roll into the nation’s capital on a seven-game winning streak with an impressive run differential and a dominant rotation anchoring their surge. Washington, meanwhile, continues to battle key injuries and bullpen struggles, being a bottom 5 ERA team in MLB, with 4.69. With both offenses capable of quick strikes and the weather favoring hitters, this matchup leans heavily toward a high-scoring affair, especially given the Mets’ recent knack for lighting up the scoreboard.

Feels like one of those nights where you settle in expecting a slow grind, but before you know it, the runs are flying across the board. Between the Mets' hot bats and the Nats' shaky arms, it’s tough not to lean toward a slugfest here.

Spread Pick - Washington Nationals, +1.5 (-115): B

The New York Mets head to Washington riding a seven-game winning streak, but injuries and a scrappy Nationals squad make the spread tighter than it looks. New York remains without key arms, and Washington sends a starter who has historically matched up well against the Mets’ lineup. With crosswinds forecasted and both teams leaning toward lower-scoring scripts, backing the Nationals at +1.5 runs offers solid value, especially given their strong record against the spread when catching runs. This play earns a sharp nod given the circumstances.

This feels like one of those gritty games where every base hit and pitching change matters. The Mets might be hotter overall, but Washington has the makeup to hang around and maybe even sneak one late, so grabbing the runs seems like the smarter move today.
