The Washington Nationals lost another one last night at Nationals Park, falling to the New York Mets, 4-2, and they are now just 3-12 on the season in DC. It won’t get any easier for them tonight when they host the Mets in the middle game of their 3-game set. With last night’s win, New York is 21-10 overall, with the most wins in the National League, and are 12-5 away from Citi Field. Tonight’s expected starters are Tylor Megill for the Mets and Aaron Sanchez for the Nats. Sanchez has been a hitter’s delight. He is 1-2 on the season with a 8.56 ERA, a 1.54 WHIP, and was lit up by the Rockies in his last turn, yielding 7 runs over 4-1/3 resulting in a 9-7 loss. New York’s Tylor Megill has been just the opposite. He is 4-1 with a 2.43 ERA, a WHIP of only 0.90, and the Mets are 6-1 in his last 7 starts. New York is obviously heavily favored but that’s okay. In this situation, they are 21-8 in their last 29 and 4-1 in their last 5 in Washington.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK METS
