Monday MLB Free Play: Mets at Nationals

Take the New York Mets on the moneyline. We are getting solid value here Monday night with the superior overall team who should not be dogs in this game.

The Nationals just lost four straight to the Chicago Cubs and they are just 2-12 in their last 14 home games against a team that has a road winning record below .400. The Nationals are just 11-42 in their last 53 games against an NL East division opponent and they are just 14-41 in their last 55 games in Game 1 of a series.

The Mets are 20-7 in their last 27 games when playing a team that has a record below .400 and the Mets are 5-1 in their last six games against the Nationals. Livan Hernandez (5-5, 5.10 ERA) has owned the Nationals over two starts against them this season with an ERA of just 0.56. I look for him to have a solid outing for the Mets who need him to pitch past the sixth inning tonight.

Take the New York Mets as my MLB Free Play for Monday night.

Vernon Croy is a red-hot 8-2 on the bases since the All-Star break and his 80% MLB run continues right here with his 3* Monday Night MLB SMASH. Make sure you get on it now. Cubs/Phillies live on ESPN!
