NY Mets vs Washington Nationals Prediction

The NY Mets are going to be favored because they’re playing the better ball, and they’re at home. However, there’s not much separating the Nats and Mets on the season and Jake Irvin has been solid this season with an ERA under 3, and he’s been even better on the road. Jose Quintana just isn’t a pitcher I’m excited to back in the favorite role, as he’s past his prime in his 13th season and appears to be just a guy at this stage. The value is with the Nationals and the more favorable price.
