Washington is quickly becoming an embarrassment, not only as it continues to lose with all its high-priced talent, but the Nationals haven't scored a run in three games. They were shut out again by the Mets 3-0 on Saturday, and Bryce Harper is 0-for-11 in those three games. Ironically, the last time Washington faced Steven Matz, they ended up winning 25-4, but that seems like the distant past now. Matz subsequently went on the disabled list and in his last outing on Tuesday, he allowed two runs on two hits in five innings against San Francisco. Jefry Rodriguez hasn't been too impressive himself, but that is where the Mets' weak offense comes into play, which makes this matchup an UNDER play. The UNDER is 38-16-1 in Washington's last 55 road contests, and the Nationals are 11-3 UNDER their last 14 road games versus left-handed starters. Take the UNDER.
