MLB Odds: Nationals vs. Mets prediction, odds and pick

Erick Fedde gets the call for the Nationals. The Mets don't have a starting pitcher yet. They will play a game on Friday night. It will be the first game of the National League Wild Card Series. The team will try to return to the World Series for first time since 2015. Their opponents are the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta is the N.L. East Division champions. New York is playing on a Friday instead of getting the weekend off. Mets will rest their frontline players so that they are fresh for Friday and the huge weekend of baseball in Queens.

The Mets are likely to rest their players before Friday's National League Wild Card Series against the Padres. The Mets were swept by the Braves in Atlanta over the weekend.

The Mets are playing the Nationals in the National League wild card round this weekend. The Phillies are in because of their 16-3 record against Washington.

The game is a spring training game. The Nationals are the favourites.

The final MLB odds and pick are Nationals +1.5.
