The Nationals lead the majors in runs scored. Yet they are just a .500 team because they have the second-highest ERA in the league and have committed the most errors. They also have the fifth-highest bullpen ERA. Juan Soto is hot, which means the Mets' offense is hot. New York is averaging 7.0 runs per game during its past seven games. Soto has five homers in those seven games. He has been deadly against Washington, his former team, with 12 home runs and 26 RBI's in 35 career games. Washington has the second-fewest quality starts. Cade Cavalli, today's Nationals starter, can take his place among those bad starters with a 4.05 ERA and 1.54 WHIP. The Nationals are surrendering an average of 7.6 runs per game during their past eight games. Mets starter David Peterson has not been good either, with a 5.40 ERA and 1.57 WHIP. But he has the superior bullpen behind him, along with the better defense. Take the Mets.

New York at Washington
6:45 PM Eastern
The Nationals are two games better than the Mets and can never be counted out. That was proven last night when Washington rallied from a five-run deficit against good-looking rookie Nolan McLean, who had a 2.92 ERA entering the game. The Nationals got to McLean for nine runs — six earned — in 5.2 innings in their 9-6 victory. Now the Mets go from McLean to Zach Thornton, who is filling in for injured Clay Holmes. This is Thornton's Major League debut. New York's bullpen carries a high fatigue rating. The Nationals do not have good pitching and are last defensively. But they do have plenty of offense, making this a scary start for Thornton. Washington leads the majors in runs, averaging 5.5 runs a game. The Nationals have an excellent blend of power and speed, ranking in the top eight in homers and stolen bases. Washington starter Zack Littell threw five shutout innings in his last outing, giving up only two hits in a 3-2 win against the Orioles this past Friday. Take the Nationals.
