Prediction published on 6/11/25, 3:56 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 2/11/26 at 8:30 AM in MLB Picks

In the first game of the series between the Nationals and the Mets, the New Yorkers won via walk-off once again. Game 1 against the Nats lost that game 4-5 in favor of the Mets in 10 innings. With this, the Mets achieved their 43rd win of the season and an enviable record at Citi Field, which now stands at 25-7.

The Mets rallied once again in a game they trailed 0-2 in the first inning, but their stars responded once again for the Mets, specifically Soto, who homered in a 4-2 victory and hit 6 walk-off hits. While the Mets left 7 players on base, the Nationals left 18 players on base on Tuesday, a decisive stat.

Irvin is scheduled for Game 2 for the Nationals to face Peterson for the Mets. The Mets left-hander managed to become a reliable starter, so much so that in each of his last five outings, he pitched at least five innings.

Irving ended up earning the L in his last game against the Cubs, which the Nats lost 1-7 at Nationals Park. These are Irving's numbers against the Mets: a 3.78 ERA and a 1-2 record.
