The Mets are on a roll winning their last ten games and putting up at least 5 runs in their last six games. They are going with Peterson on the mound who is 3-0 with an ERA of 3.67 and is the better pitcher in the game, and has some impressive wins recently against the Yankees and the Rangers. The Mets are batting consistently and extremely well against left handed pitchers, and they can be trusted to get some runs in this game and shut down the hit and miss Nationals offense. Washington has struggled in spots with their offense, like not getting any runs in their last game, not generating consistent home runs in general, and that is not going to cut it with a Mets team that are swinging hot bats. Gore is on the mound and he hasn’t done well in his last outing and has a higher ERA at home of 4.13. He has lost his last three starts giving up some runs and more hits and the Mets bats will get to him for some runs. Batters are hitting over .300 against Gore, while Peterson is pitching well and has won four of his last five starts, and the Mets bats back him up consistently.

Best bet: take the New York Mets on the moneyline (ML).
