Free MLB Pick
The Mets’ batters have a .233 batting average against the Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez and Washington’s batters have a combined lifetime BA of .229 versus New York’s starter Matt Harvey. The Nationals were held to one run per game in three of their last four, so we’re not expecting a n offense outburst against Harvey who has a 2.91 ERA at home this season. The Mets have been doing a better job at putting runs on the board as of late, but haven’t been able to figure out Gonzalez in his last four starts against them with the lefty recording four consecutive Q starts allowing six runs (5 earned) over 26 2/3 innings.
