BETTING TRENDS

Washington are 3-7 SU in their last 10 games against NY Mets.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Washington's last 6 games on the road.

Washington are 3-10 SU in their last 13 games when playing on the road against NY Mets.

NY Mets are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games.

The total has gone OVER in 6 of NY Mets' last 9 games against Washington.

NY Mets are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games at home.

 

Prediction

The Nationals have struggled on the road this season as they're winning only the 36% of the time and have lost 12 of the last 15 games vs Mets in New York. Fedde will start for the Nationals who has struggled lately allowing 3 or more runs in each of his last 4 starts. The Mets are probably going to rest some players as they need to play the Wild Card Series against the Padres so I'll give it a shot with the Nationals to at least cover the spread.

PICK: Nationals +1.5 (+110)
