Washington Nationals vs New York Mets Prediction: Mets will pick all points

Monday's MLB matchup between the New York Mets and Washington Nationals takes place at Nationals Park.

In 5 of their previous 10 games, the Washington Nationals have scored 3 runs or fewer, and they have scored 7 runs in their last 3 games. When scoring three runs or fewer, the Nationals have lost four of their last five games. Joey Meneses, who has 46 hits and 18 RBI to lead the Nationals, is followed by Lane Thomas and Dominic Smith, who have a combined total of 76 hits and 26 RBI. The Nationals are 18-59 in their past 77 games against the National League East and 22-50 in their last 72 home games. In the Nationals' previous five games overall, the under is 4-1.

The New York Mets have scored three runs or fewer in eight of their last eleven games while scoring 13 runs in their last three games. When scoring three runs or fewer, the Mets have dropped five of their last eight games. With 47 hits and 16 RBI, Brandon Nimmo leads the Mets, followed by Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso, who have combined for 73 hits and 44 RBI. The Mets have a 12-5 record over their last 17 Monday games and a 5-14 record overall. In the Mets last four games overall, the under is 4-0. The Mets have won four of their previous five meetings in Washington and have a 35-game record of 24-11.

Given how poorly the New York Mets have performed thus far, it is difficult to support them with confidence. The Nationals, on the other hand, are in worse shape, and I've consistently discounted Patrick Corbin as a pitcher through the years. Corbin has arguably been the worst pitcher in MLB over the past three seasons. Therefore, there is no choice but to support the Mets in this situation.
