New York at Washington

The Nationals had their good run when they went on a mini tear winning six of seven games. The before and after shows more about the reality of this team as they were 4-19 leading into the streak and 0-5 coming out of it, or 4-24 all together. The fact is that this team simply does not win many games. They have also been unable to find the win column period against a team with a winning record where they are now 0-13 the last 13 times they have met a team over .500. The Nats have been just 4-15 in Jason Bergman's 19 starts on the season. The Mets’ starting pitching has been very good, but the pen has crashed and burned several games, but even the Mets’ pen was able to shut down the punchless Nats last night. We like them here as well in game 2.
