Prediction published on 6/10/25, 4:03 PM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 6/26/25 at 8:30 AM in MLB Picks

The New York Mets will put their three-game win streak on the line on Tuesday as they open a fresh series with the Washington Nationals at Citi Field.

The Mets had completed a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies, demonstrating high-octane offense and suffocating pitching on the road. Over the last five games, the Mets have posted a 2.66 ERA while averaging 7.2 runs per game on a .293. Their terrific form on both ends often led to blowouts and wins against the spread. In their last 10 games, the Mets are 10-0 against the spread (7-0 at home and 3-0 on the road).

The Nationals have lost 3 of their last 5 games, including back-to-back defeats to the Texas Rangers. Washington has tightened up its pitching over its last 5 games, during which it has sported a strong 2.80 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. Averaging 4.3 runs per game in the season, the Nationals’ offense has hit a wall in this stretch as they average 1.5 runs per game on a .176 batting average.
