Nationals vs Mets Prediction
The current betting odds have the Mets listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Mets have looked great in their games this season with their 42-24 record overall which has them right at the top of the NL East with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have also looked great in their own ballpark this year with their 24-7 home record. Meanwhile, the Nationals haven't looked great in their games this season with their 30-35 record overall which has them right in the middle of the NL East. They haven't been a great road team though with their 15-17 road record this season. The Nationals haven't looked great lately either as they are 5-5 in their last 10 games while the Mets have been red hot, going 8-2 in their last 10. The Mets are going with Canning in this one and he has looked great all season. He is 6-2 with a 2.90 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs in his starts all year. He is also coming off another great start in which he gave up no runs. The Nationals are going with Gore in this one and he hasn't looked bad this season either. He is 3-5 with a 2.87 ERA and gave up no runs in his last start. His team has also won 2 games in a row now with him starting, but he still has more losses than wins this season and a lot of that has to do with a bad Nationals offense. The Mets have been the much hotter team coming into this series, but they also have one of the best offenses in the MLB and that will be enough for them to get the win with this matchup. The best way to place a bet here is on the Mets to win this game.

Notable Quotes

“It’s really cool. I just want to help the team win every single chance I get. My game is driving the ball, doing what I can to score guys and get guys in. For me, it just boils down to doing my part, trying to win every day.” - Pete Alonso after their win against the Rockies in their game on Sunday.
