What a Win for the Nationals

The Nationals might not have had the best season, but they picked up a big victory on Sunday. It took two runs in the 9th inning, but they were able to pick up the win. Riley Adams had a strong game, hitting a home run and driving in three RBIs. Even though they won, the starting pitching really put them in a tough spot. Mitchell Parker went five innings, giving up seven hits and six earned runs. 

Washington is averaging 4.21 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.67 runs per game. The offense is ranked 15th, while the pitching is ranked 23rd. James Wood has hit eight home runs and driven in 19 RBIs. Getting the start for the Nationals will be Trevor Williams, who sits with a 1-2 record and an ERA of 5.11. Against the Baltimore Orioles, he went five innings, giving up six hits and one run. 

Bad loss for the Mets

It was a bad loss for the Mets on Sunday. The Mets scored seven runs, but the bullpen blew it late. Tylor Megill went 6.1 innings, giving up three hits and three earned runs. Jose Butto went 0.2 innings, giving up three hits and three earned runs. Luis Torrrens did have a strong offensive game, finishing with two hits and two RBIs. In this game, if they have a lead, they really need a lot better pitching from the bullpen so they don’t blow it again. 

The Mets are averaging 4.21 runs while their pitching is giving up 2.93 runs per game. The offense is ranked 15th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 1st. Pete Alonso has hit six home runs and driven in 26 RBIs. Getting the start for the Mets will be Griffin Canning, who sits with a 3-1 record and an ERA of 3.12. Against the Philadelphia Phillies, he went five innings, giving up seven hits and one run. 

New York Mets vs Washington Nationals Prediction

The Mets might have blown the last game, but that won’t end up being the case here. Trevor Williams is getting the start for the Nationals, and that spells bad news for Washington. Compare that to Griffin Canning, who has been strong, and he sits with a 3-1 record. Over his last two starts, he has given up only two runs total, and he’s going to dominate here. The Mets are going to be giving Canning plenty of run support after teeing off on Williams, and this will be an easy victory. Back the Mets on the run line.
