Washington has won four of seven after its 5-4 victory over the Mets on Wednesday. Josh Bell hit a homer and a sacrifice fly for the Nationals, who never trailed in the game. New York has lost seven of eight road games, and it is just 26-35 on the road this season. The Mets have lost Sean Manaea's past four starts overall and his past five starts following a loss in their previous game. New York has lost 15 of 20 overall, and it has gone UNDER seven Thursday games in a row. MacKenzie Gore has only allowed two runs on seven hits in his past two outings in 12 innings pitched. He faced the Mets once this year and gave up two runs on five hits in six innings. Washington is 3-0-1 UNDER in its past four home games versus left-handed starters. Take the Nationals and the UNDER.
