Washington Nationals vs NY Mets Prediction

The NY Mets being favored in this spot is laughable. David Peterson is making just his second start of the season, and he’s not a pitcher the Nationals should fear in the first place. Also, the NY Mets have underachieved all season and nearly blew the Game yesterday, so I’m not thrilled to back them as a favorite. The Washington Nationals continue to hang around that .500 record, and Trevor Williams has quietly been fabulous this season and probably the best player for the Nationals overall. Williams has been dealing with a 2.22 ERA and .221 allowed batting average in 56.2 innings. Give me the Nats and the plus money.
