My Prediction
New York Mets by 3Alrighty, let's dissect this clash of titans, shall we? The battleground is Nationals Park, where the New York Mets are taking on the Washington Nationals. Now, Nationals Park is as average as a bowl of oatmeal in terms of favors. Doesn't really swing it too much for the batters or the pitchers.
The Mets are sending Kodai Senga to the hill today. This guy's been tighter than a miser's fist, rocking an ERA of just a smidge above 0.80 this season. Whereas, the Nationals are rolling with Jake Irvin. Not too shabby, mind you, with a decent ERA of 3.71 and a pretty good knack for sending batters back to the dugout baffled.
Right now, Pete Alonso seems to be on a rocket bound for the stars with an astounding batting average of .341 for the Mets. And let's not forget the ever-reliable Francisco Lindor, who's also pulling his weight. Over at the Nationals' clubhouse, Keibert Ruiz is showing his chops with a .321 average and young Alex Call is making a decent case of his own.
Now, history can be a stern teacher - and it seems to favor the Mets. They've been handing out defeats like free candy at a parade in recent matchups against the Nationals. Paired with their stronger regular season record and recent results, they appear to be the more dominant force on paper.
Throwing all these ingredients into the prediction-pot and stirring them all together, here's your entree.
