NATIONALS vs METS PREDICTION

The Mets have been hit-or-miss this season and now face a pitcher whom they have had minimal success. The Nationals have Juan Soto back in the lineup and he is swinging the bat well. Look for the Nationals to get back on track with better pitching and more offense in this one. The Nationals were dominated by the Orioles over the weekend so this will be a game they will show up ready to play and win. 

The Bookie is rolling with the Nationals while the public is mixed but mostly on the Nats and the Sharps are on the Nats as well.
