Washington Nationals (23-25) and New York Mets (21-26) will meet for the second time in this four-game series at Nationals Park. The Nationals will be looking to bounce back from their heavy 7-16 defeat in the opening matchup. They once again found themselves in a situation where they couldn’t control the game, giving up 10 runs in the top of the 12th. The Nationals must start strongly on Tuesday night.
New York Mets, meanwhile, will be very confident after enjoying a ridiculous game of baseball. The visitors got on the board first when Torrens doubled on the ball that passed over the third base. They were relentless in attack, forcing the Nats to leave 19 on base to secure the wild win. The Mets also made history by becoming the first NL team to score 10+ runs in extra innings since 1919, when the Reds won against Brooklyn. They’ll be keen to build on that performance tonight.

Our Washington Nationals vs New York Mets Prediction
We expect another big scoreboard, although we’ll likely not see another 16-run performance from the Mets. They’ll be the -160 betting favorites, and will start the reliable Nolan McLean (2-2, 2.94 ERA). The Mets have won six of their last seven matches while performing admirably well in offense. They’ve scored over 5.5 runs in four of their last five assignments. However, the Nats are also excelling on offense this season, boasting a .244 batting average, which is 11th in MLB. The hosts will send Foster Griffin to the mound as he seeks to improve his 4-2 record and 3.53 ERA this season. Overall, this matchup should have plenty of offensive outbursts.
Our prediction for Washington Nationals vs New York Mets: Over 8.5 runs.
