This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Chris Bassitt was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Tylor Megill is on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 4-1 with a 2.43 ERA this season. His team won 5 of their last 6 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 0 HRs, and 2 BB with 9 Ks on 4 hits in 5.1 IP against the Atlanta Braves.

The Nationals are coming into this game with a 10-20 record overall and they are 7-9 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just lost their 3-game series against the Los Angeles Angels 2-1, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Mets on Tuesday night. This will be the 1st game of the series on Tuesday. Erick Fedde was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Patrick Corbin will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 0-5 with a 7.16 ERA this season. His team lost all 6 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 ER, 0 HRs, and 0 BB with 3 Ks on 9 hits in 8 IP against the Colorado Rockies. They scored 11 runs in their last series averaging just under 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 11 runs against them averaging just under 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Mets have been playing very well coming into this game and they have one of the best records in the MLB right now as they are one of the only teams that have 20 wins on the season already. They have been in great form with their pitching though and even when their pitching has a bad day, their bats are there to bail them out. They are one of the best teams in the MLB from a talent standpoint by far this season and they are going up against a Nationals side that has already got off to a bad start and finds themselves at the bottom of the division with a 10-20 record overall. They have also lost 4 of their last 5 games and have lost most of their series this season as well. They also have Corbin on the mound here who has been having an awful start to the season while Megill has been pitching very well for the Mets and helping his team win a lot of their games. The Mets are the much better team here with better batters and better pitching as well. The best bet here is on the Mets to win this game.

"I thought I got away with one there with Trout and then come back face Ohtani and the slider stays too much on the plate and zone and he does what he needs to do. I was trying to go up on Rendon and didn't quite get up enough." - Tanner Rainy after their loss against the Angels on Sunday.
