New York Mets @ Washington Nationals Preview

The New York Mets and Washington Nationals face off in the second game of their series after a dramatic opener. The Nationals pulled off a stunning comeback yesterday, overcoming a seven-run deficit to win 8-7. This game will be pivotal for the Mets as they look to bounce back and regain momentum. Both teams have shown flashes of offensive firepower, but the Mets' bullpen will need to tighten up after their late-game collapse.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

In their last seven meetings, the Mets have dominated the Nationals, winning six straight games before yesterday's loss. However, Washington's victory in the series opener could signal a shift in momentum. Historically, the Mets have performed well at home against the Nationals, leveraging their strong pitching and timely hitting to secure wins.

Pick: Mets Moneyline (-160)

widget-odds-mlb-su-10535-NYM-WSH

The Mets are the favorites in this matchup, and for good reason. Despite their bullpen struggles in the previous game, they have been the better team overall in head-to-head matchups. Their offense has been consistent, and they will likely come out strong to avoid dropping two straight games to a division rival. Backing the Mets on the moneyline is the safest play here.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Pete Alonso Over 1.5 Total Bases (+110)

widget-props-mlb-10535-5061937

Alonso has been a key offensive contributor for the Mets and has a favorable matchup against the Nationals' pitching staff. He has consistently hit for power and should have opportunities to rack up extra-base hits in this game.

2. Francisco Lindor Over 0.5 RBIs (+125)

Lindor has been clutch in driving in runs, especially in high-leverage situations. With the Mets' offense expected to bounce back, Lindor is a strong candidate to record at least one RBI in this game.

3. Josiah Gray Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-115)

Gray has struggled to go deep into games against the Mets in the past, and their lineup's ability to make contact could limit his strikeout total. This makes the under on his strikeouts a solid play.
