They average just 4.2 runs per game but have Harper hitting 11 long balls so far this season.

They rank 8th in the MLB with 47.
Gonzalez has pitched phenomenal so far with an era of just 1.93. His worst outing came just 2 starts ago for 5 runs but against the mets, he should be able to keep his earned runs down this game.

Free Washington Nationals vs. New York Mets MLB Prediction:
The Nationals have the edge here pitching and the Mets have a slight edge offensively, plus they are at home.
This game will no doubt be a close one unless the long balls swing the outcome heavily one way.
Since the Mets are struggling putting up runs as of late, putting up at most 4 runs the last 8 games, Nationals should squeeze this one out.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Nationals ML
Both teams rely on pitching here and only put up big runs in multi home run games. Both teams are great at avoiding giving up home runs so this one should end low scoring.
Take the under.
