Washington Nationals DFS SPIN
Luis García was the Nationals offense on Friday, going 3-for-4 with a homer and a double against the Mets. García’s .266/.301/.374 line is truly disappointing, but it comes with a terrific 12% strikeout rate and slightly improved exit velocity numbers from last year. There’s still a breakout campaign hidden somewhere in here.
New York Mets DFS SPIN
Pete Alonso hit three-run and two-run homers Friday in leading the Mets to a 5-1 win over the Nationals. Alonso’s homers supplied all of the Mets’ runs on the evening. He became the third player to reach 30 homers this season, joining Shohei Ohtani and Matt Olson. Alonso also homered twice Tuesday. While it’s a very good thing that the power is back, he’s still hitting just .189 since May 30.

Nationals vs. Mets MLB BETTING PREDICTION
This pitching matchup is perfect for over bettors. Carrasco is 3-4 with a 5.82 ERA on the year and is coming off a disastrous start on Sunday in which he allowed five runs on a season-high 10 hits over a season-low 2 1/3 innings versus the Red Sox. Corbin, meanwhile, allowed six runs (five earned) on 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings during the Nationals’ 10-6 loss to the Rockies on Monday.
