Mets (Stroman, 9-12, 2.85) vs. Nationals (Fedde, 6-9, 5.08)
Marcus Stroman of the poor hit, good pitch Mets faces the Nationals for the second time in a week. He has beaten them twice in two meetings this year. Quality outings are no surprise with Stroman but wins are. His two wins vs. Washington represents 1/3 of his total this year. His ERA has slipped slightly since the break but he still delivers innings and ERA.
The Nationals start Erick Fedde. He is another workhorse who doesn’t pitch quite well enough to win frequently. He is 3-4 at home, and has an ERA of 5.17 since the all-star break. The Mets have hit well against Fedde in previous meetings.
The Nationals have the better offense, but almost everyone has a better offense than the Mets. Washington’s bullpen is much inferior to the Mets’, and has really struggled lately. Friday’s game was a case in point. The Mets’ pen has been particularly sharp in their last 7 games with an ERA in the 1’s.
The Mets swept the Nationals in their recent home series, and are 5-0 in their last five games. Stroman and the Mets are at their best in day games. Here is a curious stat; Mets are 9-3 in the first game of a double header, and Washington is 2-4!
I like Stroman and New York in this situation, but because of their lack of offense, not -1 1/2 worth. Hunt for the best odds and take the Mets to win outright.
