This is an 8* play UNDER Washington-NY Mets

You'd be hard-pressed to find two more disappointing teams in either league than the Mets and Nationals. By rule, someone had to win yesterday's game and it was the Mets doing so by a score of 5-3. Of course, one team will prevail again today, but the better bet is on the Under as neither team is doing much hitting lately, the Mets especially. They had been shutout in consecutive games (by Miami!) coming into this series and are hitting .206 over the last week. Even worse is that in those two shutout losses to Miami, they managed only three hits. They'd lost five in a row overall before yesterday. Washington has scored more than five runs only twice in its last 10 games. Erick Fedde is starting here only because of an injury to Anibal Sanchez. He did allow four runs (in relief of Sanchez) last week to the Mets, but should be better here. Again he'll face Zack Wheeler, who didn't exactly pitch well last Thursday either. But before that he'd tossed five quality starts in six tries. Play UNDER Washington-NY Mets
