Stephen Strasburg will try to end the New York Mets 4 game winning streak when he takes the mound tonight at Nationals Park. Strasburg has been dominant so far in 2016. He has yet to lose a game, posting a 7-0 record with an ERA of 2.80 and a WHIP of 1.08. Last Thursday he faced Matt Harvey and the Mets in Queens. He was electric, striking out 10, and yielding just 1 run on 6 hits. Harvey on the other hand didn’t fare as well and the Nationals nailed him. Harvey lasted only 2-2/3 innings, giving up 9 runs on 8 hits and 2 walks. Matt Harvey is 3-6 on the season and has an ERA of 5.77 with a WHIP of 2.80. The number is high, but with the Nationals going 11-1 in Strasburg’s last 12 home starts, I’m laying the juice and taking Washington.
Tonight’s pick:
Washington Nationals
