The Mets and Nationals kick off their four-day series today with a game at Citi Field with both sides hoping to turn around their losing starts to the season.

In a game that the books have in the National favor, our projections see it as a genuine even split, in what could be a nice money maker for bettors.

Dimers' Suggested Plays

Lock: Mets +1.5 (-158*)
Total runs: Over 8.5 (-110*)
Moneyline: Mets (+115*)

Lock

In a game that our modelling has as a 50/50 split, the dogs have to be played at the run line. Even at minus money, it's still the smart action.

Over/under

The total runs mark looks like it’s been set right in this one, meaning that if you want to bet then the slightly better odds for under is the way to go.

Moneyline

The plus money for the Mets here is extremely appealing. Jump on this one and behind the home team.
