(MLB) NY Mets vs. Washington,
Money Line: 122.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Washington Nationals.

I like the Washington Nationals to win this game against the New York Mets on Sunday. The Nationals have already lost 3 games in a row to the Mets to start their year off and all 3 losses were at home too. This is the final home game of their opening series with the Mets before they go on a road trip for the next 2 series' and I think the Nats are going to prevent getting swept here. I expect their pride to come out in this game since the Mets have been terrible over the past few years and to lose that much to a division rival and on their home field too has to be leaving a bad taste in their mouths. The Mets have gotten a lot better in the offseason but I think the Nats have the more favorable pitching matchup here and I expect them to take advantage of it to get their 1st win of the year here. Carlos Carrasco (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is getting his 1st start of the year for the Mets here and he isn't really coming off a great year. He finished the 2021 season 1-5 with a 6.04 ERA and he was consistently bad throughout the year. He even pitched in 8 innings in Spring training this year and he still looked bad giving up 5 runs in those 8 innings with 10 hits too. I think the Nats will get hits and put up runs on him in this game and I expect them to try even harder here after a game where they put up nothing. Erick Fedde (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is starting for the Nats here and he didn't have a great season last year but he looked a lot better in Spring training this year and I think he can come out and make improvements here on his season from last year. He pitched in a little over 9 innings in Spring training this year and didn't give up any runs. I think he is going to have a good game here and I see the Mets struggling to put up runs on him here. I don't think the Nationals are going to get swept by the Mets in their opening series here. I like the Nationals to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Nationals.
