This will be the second game of 3 game series played in New York. Washington won 6-4 last night. Season series is tied to 3-3 now.

It's interesting to notice that whenever the Mets won against Washington their bullpen hasn't allowed a run. In the other 3 games, their bullpen has given up multiple runs and they have lost. New York Mets relievers have posted a 6.32 ERA against Washington this season.

New York Mets are 4th in National League East with 32-44 record. They are only 14-24 at home. Washington is second in the same division with 40-39 record.

Washington shortstop Ian Desmond has homered in consecutive games and he has recorded 5 homers in his last nine contests. Their third baseman Ryan Zimmerman had a three-run double yesterday, is 4-for-5 with 8 RBI's with the bases loaded this season.

Rookie Taylor Jordan will be starting for Washington today. He started the season with Class A Potomac and was recently with Double-A Harrisburg, going combined 9-1, 1.00 ERA in 14 starts and 1 relief appearance between the two clubs. Taylor had  a pair of shutouts recently. He has struck out 72 and walked 15 over 90.1 innings of work so far this in 2013.

New York Mets are sending out Dillon Gee, who is 5-7, 4.82 ERA after 15 starts this season. In his last start 7 days ago at Philadelphia Gee has allowed 5 earned runs on 8 hits in 5 innings of work.

New York Mets are 2-8 in their last 10 games as a favorite, 4-17 in their last 21 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, 1-5 in their last 6 games as a home favorite and 0-9 in their last 9 Saturday games.

Washington is 21-7 in the last 28 meetings against the Mets and 14-3 in the last 17 meetings in New York and I expect them to win today.
