Chip's NL Megabucks Best Bet (Mets/Nationals)
(MLB) NY Mets vs. Washington,
Money Line: -103.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Win
New York Mets at Washington 7:05 ET
Nationals over Mets- These two National League contenders both have trouble scoring runs and will face hard throwing right-handers tonight. The Mets will start Noah Syndergaard (8-2, 2.08 ERA) who has the highest average fastball speed in the Majors but left his last outing because of discomfort in his right elbow. Washington will start Joe Ross (6-4, 3.11) who is 3-0 in his last six starts was the only starter not to suffer a loss in the Nats seven-game losing streak before yesterday's win. Washington will play 19 of their next 23 at home and will start with a home win here. Take the NATIONALS!
