You wouldn't think the Mets just played such a tight game as Tuesday's tussle from looking at the betting lines on tonight's rematch with the Washington Nationals. The New York Mets are inspiring balanced picks against a run line of (-1.5) for the series' second game at 7:10 p.m. EST.
It's not as if the Mets' 5-4 extra-innings win was easy in any way. Shortstop CJ Abrams of the Nationals terrorized Citi Field with a huge evening. Outfielder Juan Soto of the Mets will be headed for a summer to remember if he stays healthy, but New York's pitching staff deserves Tuesday's praise, with five relievers combining for 4.2 innings of work without letting in a run.
Why is Washington such a lowly pick for tonight's game? For a change, the primary reason may not be the starting pitchers this evening … though the Mets hope to have an edge in that department too.

New York Mets vs Washington Nationals Predictions and Picks
Washington is in such a hitting slump that it could take nine great innings of defense to defeat New York. The Nationals' offense vanished late in May's series with the Diamondbacks, never scoring more than four runs in a span of seven straight games coming into tonight. Washington has been shut out in three of the games. Sports Illustrated's Kenneth Teape says Abrams is "back on track," but the Nats' bats aren't.
Mets probable pitcher David Peterson isn't the hurler Washington wants to go up against right now. In the mire of the Nationals' scoring slump, though, the Nats' solid counterpart, Jake Irvin, could go overlooked.
Don't go for the Mets' inflated run line. Look for a low final score instead. The "under" pick on an alternate total of O/U (8) is likely to pay off at more generous odds than the consensus market.
