Washington Nationals (25-25) and New York Mets (21-28) will meet in the National League East on Thursday night at Nationals Park. The Nationals will be looking to wrap up this four-game series with a win and clinch a 3-1 victory. They took a 2-1 series lead on Wednesday night after flooring the Mets 8-4 with CJ Abraham crushing a 3-run homer for the hosts. The Nats will be feeling confident ahead of tonight’s battle.
New York Mets, on the other side of the grass, will be actively seeking to tie this series, setting the stage for a lively matchup. They opened this series with a commanding 7-16 victory before their inconsistency issue showed up once again. Their offense has looked capable of causing problems in this series, although their pitchers have failed to control the bump. It will be a do-or-die game for them tonight.

Our Washington Nationals vs New York Mets Prediction
Bookies are favoring the Nets to win and tie this series at -120 odds. They showed that they can cause a lot of damage in the series opener, and players like Juan Soto will be keen to lift them past the Nats. However, their 10-15 record on the road doesn’t inspire confidence. The Mets are also 1-4 in their last five away games while going 1-3 over their previous four visits to Nationals Park. For this reason, we’ll take a safer bet in over 7.5 runs. The Mets will start David Peterson, who carries a 2-4 record into this contest with a 5.40 ERA. Washington’s Cade Cavalli is also having consistency issues, going 2-2 this season with a 4.05 ERA. This could be another game where the Nats ride on their momentum to blow away the Mets early.
Our prediction for Washington Nationals vs New York Mets: Over 7.5 runs to hit.
