This game will be played after the completion of Saturday's suspended game and Max Scherzer will start for New York and will look to bounce back from an uncharacteristic poor outing against Detroit on May 3 when he gave up six runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings. However, he has had extra rest after missing a turn tn the rotation due to neck spasms. The Nationals are only 6-13 at home this year and in last place in the NL East with a 16-22 record. Scherzer was 2-0 with a 3.06 ERA while allowing six earned runs in 17 2/3 innings against the Nationals in 2022 and their current hitters are just 6-for-41 against him. Jake Irvin will make his third start of the season for Washington, which has won only 21 of its past 71 home games dating to last season and the Nationals are 17-59 versus NL East opponents. Take the Mets as a Max Play.
