a few reason for this play guys. Both teams sending pitchers to the Mound who had very solid spring training games. Bannister for the Mets Pitched 19 inings only giving up 10 hits and an icredible 2 runs for an ERA of 0.95. Nationals send Patterson who also had a solid spring training pitching 22 innings and only giving up 5 runs and a ERA of 2.02. Next we look at the Line ups and the Mets who have a very strong core should out score a not so strong Nationals batting line up. The big boys for the mets got shut downm last game but should get it going here today. To much talent in their line up to be held down again. Mets should win this game here. good luck guys.
