Mets (Williams, 4-2, 4.27) vs. Nationals (Corbin, 7-14, 6.26)
The Mets and the Nationals face each other in the finale of the series, with the Mets leading. While this series may be meaningless in the post season scheme of things, players do compete for other reasons such as… salaries. Corbin starts for the Nationals. The only decent start Corbin had in August was the game I played against him. Otherwise, he is 1-5 with an ERA of 7.78 in his last seven games.
He is not particularly impressive at home and poor vs. the right. Mets are quite familiar with Corbin, thank you very much.
His opponent is Trevor Williams, an occasional starter/long reliever. A recent arrival, Williams has two starts and two outings of long relief with the Mets and has an ERA of get this, 0.69! Is this sustainable? Not likely. Is his bubble ready to burst? Time will tell. His starts have both been 4+ innings, but the Mets do have a good bullpen and it is a lot better and better rested than the Nationals’.
The Nationals have the much superior offense, but the Mets have outscored them 48-31 in their last two series. The Mets aren’t an especially good road team, but they are good as a favorite and against right-handers. Washington is very poor vs. the left, and 24 – 55 as a dog.
I am wagering on Williams and the Mets. He is a better bet in my opinion. If Corbin falters, that Nationals' pen has been so heavily used , it is nearly criminal. Mets to win outright.
