New York Mets vs. Washington Nationals (MLB) - Apr 23, 2008 7:10 PM EDT
Play: Money Line: 180 Washington Nationals

The Mets have lost three straight and it hasn't been pretty, scoring a total of just two runs in the last two. They travel to D.C. to face a Nats team that come game time in all likelyhood will again be a heavy pup for the second night in a row.

The Nats will send Tim Redding to the mound who has been solid this season and leads the team with a 3-1 record and 1.18 whip. Johan Santana will try to end the Mets losing streak, but lost his last start against the Nats last year when he was with the Twins. He allowed seven hits, three runs, two of them earned in seven innings pitched of 3-1 Twins loss as a unheard of -400 fave. He will not be strapped with such a heavy price tag today, but has already reached -200 in most markets.

The Nats are riding high after thier upset win last night and have revenge on their minds, as they were swept in New York by the Mets just a week ago. The Nats are 4-1 their last 5 games as a home pup of +151 to +200, and 5-1 in their last 6 when Redding takes the hill as a home pup. The Mets are just 3-14 their last 17 games vs. a right handed starter and 0-5 in the last five road games against a right handed starter.
