Game of the Week - Rickenbach MLB Game #913 Sunday 10* Top Play New York Mets Money Line (+) @ Washington Nationals @ 8:05 ET - You know how it is guys. Everyone will look at this match-up and take the Nationals because there is "no way" the Nats could get swept at home, right? Of course that is the common thinking and that is what drives the value in situations like this. Every game is a standalone event and while it may seem improbable for Washington to lose 3 straight at home to the division rival Mets, there is absolutely no reason that it can't happen. One of the keys is that the Mets bullpen ranks near the top of the majors early this season for ERA and the Nationals rank near the bottom for bullpen ERA. That said, even if the starters Matt Harvey and Tanner Roark pitch equally well, the Mets should hold the late season edge. Additionally, New York definitely holds the edge at the plate right now. The Mets have averaged 5 runs per game their last 3 games while the Nats have scored a TOTAL of just 5 runs their last 3 games. Harvey pitched 5 scoreless innings (just 1 hit and 1 walk while striking out 5) in his first start this season. Roark also pitched well in his 1st start this season but he has allowed 6 earned RUNS in his last two starts versus the Mets while Harvey has allowed just 8 HITS in his last two starts versus Washington. As a home fave in a range of -125 to -175 the Nationals are only 42-39 their last 81 which has cost their backers $18,000 at $1,000 a game. NY has won 30 of 55 (+$6,800) road games with a posted total of 8 or 8.5 runs. All things considered, great underdog value offered here. 10* NEW YORK METS
