Mets vs Nationals
Hot bats and cold coffee spell trouble for underdog Nats

Mets (18-7) VS Nationals (11-14)
26 Apr 2025 | 4:05 PM ET | Nationals Park, Washington, DC

New York heads into Washington riding a 7-3 run, while the Nationals continue to search for consistency after a tough stretch and lingering injury concerns. The Mets send a starter to the mound who has historically dominated this matchup, supported by a bullpen that has strengthened recently with a key arm back in form. Offensively, New York’s lineup has been firing on all cylinders, capitalizing on strong production up and down the order.
Given the Mets’ current momentum, pitching advantage, and overall edge in roster health and run differential, backing New York at a -178 moneyline price holds firm value. The matchup heavily tilts toward the visitors, making this a confident play.

New York rolls into Washington on a strong run, but injuries to key bats and a likely efficient outing from their starter could slow their usual offensive output. Washington, on its own skid, sends a pitcher who has previously contained New York’s lineup, though the Nationals remain short-handed at the top of the order due to lingering injury concerns. Both bullpens have seen recent action, but not enough to heavily tilt the matchup toward offense.
Considering the current lineup limitations and starting pitching matchup, this game trends toward a lower-scoring outcome despite humid conditions.

New York enters Washington on a strong run, but faces rotation challenges with key arms unavailable or just returning from injury, creating uncertainty in the middle innings. Washington, despite recent losses, counters with a starter who has historically handled the Mets well and is backed by a bullpen that has been one of the league’s best over the past week. While New York’s lineup carries dangerous potential, recent slumps from key bats and improved on-base production from Washington’s top hitters suggest a tighter contest.
Given the pitching setup, bullpen edge, and offensive trends, grabbing Washington with the +1.5 run cushion offers strong value before the line potentially shifts.
