VegasButcher - Washington Nationals -140
The Nats are now 7-1 in NY this season, though they were a tad unlucky not to win yesterday. They had 11 hits and 4 walks, so a total of 15 base runners while NY had a little more than half of that with 8. Washington left 11 on base while Mets left 5. Werth didn’t play yesterday due to a flu so hopefully he rejoins the lineup today. NY used their three key relievers yesterday (Torres, Familia, Mejia), so now each has pitched 3 times in the last 4 days, and 4 times in the last 6. Washington’s BP is fully rested so in the last third of this game, Nats should have a strong advantage. Wheeler has been very good overall this season, but against the Nats he has a 4.3 ERA with 21 hits and 8 BB’s in 18.2 innings of work. Washington is familiar with him having seen him 3 times already and I expect this offense to convert a few more of their chances into runs tonight.
