The Edge
Mets ML is a LEAN — the pitching edge and recent form point clearly to New York, but Washington's strong underdog ATS history and superior offense prevent this from reaching PICK threshold at -144.
Key Factors
Mets team ERA (3.76) vs Nationals team ERA (5.04) — a 1.28-run gap that signals a systemic pitching edge beyond just the starter
Mets starter McLean at 2.92 ERA outpaces Griffin's 3.53 ERA, giving NYM the better arm on the mound
Mets on a W3 streak with a 7-3 ATS run last 10, including a 16-7 blowout of Washington on May 18
Nationals are 8-15 SU at home this season (.348 home win pct), a significant fade signal for a home team
