This is the final game of a three game series that saw the Mets win the opening two games and are looking for a sweep on Sunday. The matchup will feature Matt Harvey (0-0) for the Mets taking on Tanny Roark (1-0) for the Nationals.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">The Washington Nationals are -160 over the New York Mets on Sunday Night Baseball.\u00a0<\/a><\/em>\u00a0The over\/under on total runs scored is set at 8.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"matt-harvey-looks-to-build-off-of-solid-first-start\"><strong>Matt Harvey Looks To Build Off of Solid First Start<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In his last start on April 3rd against the Philladelphia Phillies, <strong>Matt<\/strong> Harvey threw well in a no decision. Harvey went five innings of one hit ball with one walk and five strikeouts. Nicknamed the \u201cDark Knight,\u201d Harvey was once the most popular pitcher on a staff that also included Noah Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom. Now, after injuries have derailed the career of the pitcher who started the 2013 All-Star Game, Harvey is looking to put together a complete, healthy season.<\/p>\n<p>He has dealt with both <strong>Tommy<\/strong> <strong>John<\/strong> surgery and surgery for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome in the past, but if he can stay healthy, he could be a major candidate for bounceback player of the year. Last year he was 5-7 with a 6.70 ERA and 1.694 WHIP in 92.2 innings, but as a free agent after the season, he is looking for a solid 2018 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, <strong>Yoenis<\/strong> <strong>Cespedes<\/strong> has gotten off to a pretty good start. He has three home runs and seven RBI\u2019s to start off the season. Michael Conforto also returned to the lineup from injury on Thursday and, in his first game, went one for four with a home run and two RBI in the 8-2 win over the Nationals Friday night.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"nationals-look-to-win-the-series-with-the-mets\"><strong>Nationals Look to Win the Series with the Mets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Nationals<\/strong> will be sending out Tanner Roark on Sunday night. In his last game, on April 2, Roark pitched seven innings of one run ball, allowing four hits, one walk and six strikeouts in an 8-1 win over the Atlanta Braves. <strong>Roark<\/strong> was sharp in his first outing, only needing 93 pitches to get through his seven innings.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, <strong>Roark<\/strong> went 13-11 with a 4.67 ERA, 1.335 WHIP and a 4.13 FIP. While he finished with a winning record, these statistics come in a little higher than his career averages, which include a 3.39 ERA and 1.187 WHIP. Regardless, Roark looks to build off his first start and continue it rolling against the <strong>Mets<\/strong> on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, <strong>Bryce<\/strong> <strong>Harper<\/strong> has been one of the best, most fearsome hitters in the early parts of this season. He has already hit five home runs (including one in Saturday\u2019s game) and ten RBI\u2019s in his first eight games. He has also already drawn ten walks, further proving the point that most pitchers want to avoid him.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, though, <strong>Harper<\/strong> has never hit very well against Matt Harvey. In 29 at bats, Harper only has two hits (.069 batting average) with one home run, three RBI\u2019s and seven strikeouts against the Mets\u2019 righty. Even though Daniel Murphy is still out for Between Harper, Trea Turner, Anthony Rendon and Ryan Zimmerman, the Nationals will put out a very formidable lineup to counter Matt Harvey.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"nationals-top-mets\"><strong>Nationals Top Mets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While this matchup doesn\u2019t necessarily have the elite pitchers (Syndergaard, deGrom, Scherzer or Strasburg) going in it, both Harvey and Roark threw very well in their first games. Regardless, I think Tanner <strong>Roark<\/strong> has a better chance of repeating his success and the Nationals avoid the sweep.<\/p>\n<p>From an over\/under perspective, I am going with the over. I think that the <strong>Nationals<\/strong> get to Matt Harvey in this one, and while I think he will pitch better than Harvey, I think <strong>Roark<\/strong> gives up a few as well. All in all, I think this is more of an offensive game than a pitcher\u2019s duel. <strong>Take the over.\u00a0<\/strong><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet on the Washington Nationals -160 over the New York Mets in Major League Baseball actionn.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet on Major League Baseball at MyBookie<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Nationals host the New York Mets Sunday Night.","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2656,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3035],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2655","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
