MLB Betting Trends

New York

The Mets are 5-2 in their last seven road games. New York is 5-2 in the last seven Wheeler starts.

Washington

The Nationals are 5-1 in their last six home games. Washington is 4-1 in the last five Sanchez home starts.

Prediction:

Washington took advantage of an awful Mets bullpen situation last night and should have a similar situation today with the Mets being fatigued in the bullpen. Plus, even the guys New York is supposed to be able to trust like Diaz are often the biggest culprits in the pen. Sanchez is having a reasonably good season and with the Nats being at home plus the Mets being shellshocked after yesterday, I think Washington is the right play again this afternoon.
