Mets vs. Nationals Prop Prediction
This is an easy prop bet in my eyes. Both pitchers starting have struggled and our coming off horrible performances in their last games. I think one of these teams gets a run on the board in the first inning. Both of these pitchers have been pretty bad this season. I expect for one of these teams to jump on these pitchers early in the first inning.
Mets vs. Nationals Prop Pick: Yes there will be a Run in the 1st Inning (-115).
