This is a 6* play on the METS

The Mets have won eight in a row and can sweep the Nationals Sunday with Jacob deGrom pitching. As you'd expect with deGrom on the mound, the odds are certainly in the Mets favor. Incredibly, if the Mets win today, they would be in Wild Card position. deGrom has been insanely good of late. He's posted a 1.76 ERA and 1.02 WHIP his last seven starts and a 1.29 ERA and 0.86 WHIP his last three. He is 8-4 with a 2.77 ERA in 17 career starts vs. Washington. The last time deGrom faced the Nationals, he gave up only one run on two hits in six innings and beat Max Scherzer. The Mets are obviously playing much better now as they've not only won eight straight, but also 15 of their last 16. Anibal Sanchez is a fine pitcher for the Nats, but he's not deGrom and sometimes a game simply boils down to the starting pitching matchup. Throw in the fact that the Mets are insanely hot right now and this looks to be a no-brainer! Play on the METS
