Why The Mets Could Cover The Spread

Butto is back in the big leagues for the fourth time this season. The Mets have called him up to be a spot starter, and it seems as if he will be back for the remainder of the season. He has pitched pretty well in his short times up in the bigs, though. He has a 4.30 ERA, and he has allowed two runs or less in three of his four outings. The Nationals hit the ball pretty well, so Butto does need to be careful, but he does not really have to worry about the power output. If Butto can have a good start, the Mets should be able to cover this spread.

Butto already faced the Nationals this season. It was back in April, but it was a good start, nonetheless. In that game, he went 4 2/3 innings, allowed just two runs on four hits, and struck out only one. However, he did walk six in that game. Butto needs to limit the walks, but he should be able to hold the Nationals down in this game, as well.

Why The Nationals Could Cover The Spread

One thing the Nationals are not very good at is taking walks. However, Butto has walked 14 batters in 14 2/3 innings, and he only has 10 strikeouts to compliment that. He does a decent job at limiting hits, but he allows a lot of free passes. The Nationals will have their chance to take some walks, and that is exactly what they need to do. If Washington can be patient at the plate, and take advantage of their free passes, they will be able to cover the spread.

Final Mets-Nationals Prediction & Pick
