00:00Don't look now. The first-paced Metropolitans here in the NLEs taking on another NL team,
00:06the Washington Nationals. We're just looking to get some sort of a semblance of we play good
00:10baseball on a day-to-day basis. Got a fun young lineup in there, but today they are a decided
00:15underdog and probably rightfully so. The 645 start rotation, 953-954. The Mets take on the
00:22Nationals, Senga versus Irvin. You take a look at the opening number, minus 186 here at the
00:27FanDuel Sportsbook, has dropped slightly to minus 180 across the board, minus 180s, minus 175s. But
00:33the runs opened up at 9, currently now sitting at 9.5 at FanDuel, as well as a couple other outlets
00:39as well. You take a look at Senga versus Irvin. Senga coming into the season, 22 and two-thirds
00:47innings pitched. How about an ERA of 079, but an XFIP of 4.02, which means you say, boy, he's a
00:54dominant pitcher. I can't believe that that number's high. That's why we see the 9.5 starting
00:57to creep up. Runs might be expected today, but the red-hot Mets taking on the Nats here, Joe.
01:05Yeah, well, he's had some success, Senga, against this Nats team before, though, a couple of years
01:11ago. But listen, the Mets have proven at Citi Field they're going to be a tough out, right? I mean,
01:18they just swept the Cardinals. They just swept the Phillies. But there are only 500 on the road
01:22this year, 6-6 here. And the Nats are still in the midst of a pretty good run here. The bats are
01:29going well for them. Mackenzie Gore just couldn't get any run support yesterday, and they were lucky
01:36if it wasn't for a home run in the fifth inning. Baltimore, that was all they needed in order to win
01:41that game. But Nats at home here, until I see it from the Mets, that success at home has to
01:48translate to the road. I think this is a tough spot for them. I do like the Nats in this one
01:54to get out early. So I'll be looking to back them at plus money in the first five.
