Washington Nationals DFS SPIN
CJ Abrams delivered a walkoff single in the ninth as the Nationals came back to top the Rockies 5-4 on Wednesday. The Nationals scored all but one of their runs in the ninth, with four walks and a HBP doing most of the work. Both hits in the frame were grounders through the infield. First baseman Michael Toglia should have gloved Abrams’ single in spite of a big hop, but he whiffed on it, giving the Nationals the game-winner. Abrams is batting .388 this month, and he scored his 20th run in 20 games after walking today.
New York Mets DFS SPIN
Mets manager Buck Showalter told reporters Starling Marte (migraines) will not be activated on Thursday as previously planned. Marte is expecting a child in the next few days, which would likely require a trip to the paternity leave list, so it sounds like the Mets are going to wait a few extra days before bringing him back. The encouraging news is that he’s feeling better after dealing with migraine headaches earlier this month.

Nationals vs. Mets MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I like the over. Josiah Gray, who starts tonight for the Nationals, is 1-2 with an 8.00 ERA in four career starts against the Mets. Granted, he did toss six shutout innings while striking out a season-high nine batters in an April 25 start versus New York earlier this season, but I’ll still take my chances that the Mets get to either Gray or Washington’s bullpen at some point tonight. On the other side, Kodai Senga and is 3.27 ERA will start for the Mets. While Senga will certainly be a challenge, the Nationals have hit well of late, scoring at least five runs in six consecutive games.
