The New York Mets will try to capture their fourth win in five games in Thursday’s series finale against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park.
The Mets are still not giving up the fight for the NL East title. New York is currently third in the NL East with a 67-59 record, trailing the 74-53 Philadelphia Phillies by 6.5 games. Over the last five games, the Mets have averaged 6.5 runs per game and pitched a 4.09 ERA.
On the other hand, the Nationals are no longer in contention for a playoff spot. At 51-75, Washington is dead last in the NL East, though this team has shown glimpses of its potential, particularly on the offensive end this season. The Nationals are averaging 4.0 runs per game on a .329 batting average while pitching a 5.60 ERA in their last five games.

Our New York Mets vs Washington Nationals Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Mets win the series behind another offensive surge.
Sean Manaea might not be the sharpest pitcher in the Mets rotation, but I still believe he will come through with a strong performance on Thursday. Manaea carries a 5.47 ERA in his last five starts, but he has dominated the Nationals in his past two starts against this team, allowing one earned run in both games.
The Nationals will send Mackenzie Gore, a serviceable pitcher with a 4.16 ERA. But it’s hard to trust him right now since he has gone 1-4 with a 6.04 ERA in his last five starts. He has also lost his last three starts against the Mets, giving up an average of 2.3 runs per game.
NY Mets is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games against Washington. They also averaged 5.33 runs per game and limited the Nats to 3.00 runs per game in their last three meetings.
