Many household Washington Nationals players have left the organization over the last few years. Josiah Gray will take the ball for the Washington Nationals. The 25-year-old from New York is seeking his 8th win of the season.

Looking at the MLB MVP odds, he is 7-8, with a 3.45 earned run average. Gray needs just two more strikeouts to reach 100 on the season. His last start was on July 22nd against the Giants, where he went seven innings and allowed just a single run.

Washington used four runs in the ninth inning of the win on Wednesday. The Nationals got a ton of help from Daniel Bard, who walked four in the game. The game-winning RBI was from C.J. Abrams, who scored Smith and Vargas. Andres Machado picked up his first win for the Nationals in the game.

Washington, on the season, has gotten on base with the 5th best batting average in all of baseball. Washington is hitting .262. Lane Thomas had led the way with his .293 average, while also 16 home runs and 54 runs batted in. The Nationals have now won five out of their last six games.

Kodai Senga will be the Mets starting pitcher. Senga is a 30-year-old Japanese pitcher that has made 18 starts on the season. Looking at the past New York Mets standings, his last one was not good, as he lasted just 3.1 innings, allowing three hits and two earned runs against the Red Sox. His previous three starts saw 29 strikeouts in 19 innings pitched. He is 7-5 with a 3.27 on the season.

This should be a pretty good game. These two teams are not far apart. In the end, the Mets are probably the better team, and being at home, gives them a better chance here. In fact, the Mets’ offense will get going as the game goes in. If you like the Mets, there is a better argument to take the run line.

Take the New York Mets to win by more than a run in this game.
