I played the Nats.
I love the Mets, but they are a very flawed team. D'arnaud can't throw anybody out (5 stolen bases last night) and the team ERA with him catching is over 1 run higher than with Rene Rivera or Kevin Plawecki catching. Neither of those guys can hit worth a lick.
The Mets bullpen was also used pretty heavily last night. (5 innings)
Harvey has had a lot of success against Harper in the past, but the Nats lu as a whole is much stronger than the Mets imo -- especially with Cespedes hurting and Duda on the DL.
I could see the Nats getting to Harvey and the pen a little bit more than I can see this Mets lineup repeating their offensive performance from last night against this kid who is very promising.
