Bet Tonight’s Mets vs. Nationals Game
NEW YORK: The Mets are hot, winnings of 16 of 21 overall and six of seven on the road. They’re also 5-1 in their last six games following a win the previous day and are 4-1 in their last five games versus National League East rivals. They’re also 22-6 in their last 28 games played on Monday.
WASHINGTON: The Nationals are just as hot as their NL East counterparts, winning six of seven overall and six of seven at home. They’re also 7-1 in their last eight games after allowing two runs or less in their previous game and are 5-1 in their last six home games versus a right-handed starter.

OUR PICK: The over is 9-3-1 in the last 13 meetings between these two teams in Washington and 6-1 in the Mets’ last seven road games when facing an opponent with a winning record. The over has also cashed in 12 of the Mets’ last 16 road games overall, is 8-3 in their last 11 road games when facing a right-handed starter, and is 7-3 in their last 10 games when they play the opener of a new series. Montero allowed three runs in just 4 1/3 innings against the Reds last Tuesday and Latos owns a 3.11 ERA versus the Mets in 14 games (12 starts) in his career. Runs shouldn’t be hard to come by in this lackluster pitching matchup.
