The New York Mets held the Washington Nationals to just five hits in a 2-0 triumph on Opening Day. The teams got Friday off but will be back in action Saturday afternoon. I like the price we get on the visitors to take a 2-0 lead in this series at Nationals Park with another win.

The Mets are 16-5 in their last 21 after scoring two runs or fewer in their previous game and hand the ball to right-hander Noah Syndergaard (2018: 13-4, 3.03 ERA). He was 5-1 behind a 2.26 ERA in 10 day starts in 2018 and held the Nats to four runs through 12 innings over two starts.

The Nats turn to Stephen Strasburg (10-7, 3.74 ERA) who was 3-2 with a 3.19 ERA in six day starts last season and was charged with four runs on five hits (two homers) in six innings in his lone start against the Mets.

NYM's Yoenis Cespedes is 9-for-18 in previous matchups with Strasburg and Robinson Cano drove in two runs in Thursday's matchup with the Nats.

8* play on New York Mets.
