The Edge
LEAN Mets ML — Scott's 2.34 ERA edge over Irvin in a pitcher-friendly park is the clearest signal, but Washington's superior offense, elite road ATS record, and New York's injury-depleted roster prevent this from reaching PICK threshold.
Key Factors
Starting pitcher ERA edge: Christian Scott 3.45 vs Jake Irvin 5.79 — a 2.34 ERA gap that exceeds the 1.5 threshold for a significant lean toward the better starter's team
Citi Field park factor 0.97 run factor / 0.93 HR factor is pitcher-friendly, which amplifies Scott's ERA advantage and suppresses Irvin's vulnerability
Mets team ERA 4.10 vs Nationals team ERA 4.73 — a 0.63 ERA edge in overall pitching depth favoring New York
Mets on a W2 streak at home; Nationals on an L2 streak entering this game
