The first two games of this series have been relatively low-scoring affairs, but I think that's about to change here in the finale as we'll see two unreliable pitchers on the mound.

The Nats hand the ball to Anibal Sanchez (0-6, 5.27 ERA) who was tagged with three runs and six hits with a pair of homers through just 4 1/3 innings against the Dodgers last time out. Sanchez has compiled a 4.13 ERA in 14 career starts against the Mets who turn to Zack Wheeler (3-2, 4.35 ERA). The right-hander is 4-9 with a 5.01 ERA in 15 career starts against the Nationals and has been tagged with 11 runs on 10 hits and eight walks in 9 2/3 innings of work against them this season.

Over is 7-3-2 in Wheeler's last 12 starts overall. Over is 7-3-2 in Wheeler's last 12 starts vs. Nationals.

8* play on OVER.
