MatchPlug Prediction For Washington Nationals VS New York Mets
It is hard to defeat Jake Irvin, who had a super June (2.31 ERA). He also has a 2.53 ERA in nine daytime starts this campaign. Irvin can have a great start against the Mets and give the bullpen a shorter leash. The major issue for Washington in this series has been staying in the lead for nine innings. Scoring more would help, and they’re facing Jose Quintana. Quintana has a 5.59 ERA against the NL East and a 5.63 ERA on the road. The Nationals will score early and defeat the Mets.
Final Prediction: Washington Nationals Moneyline.
