The Washington Nationals defeated the NY Mets 7-1 on Saturday. They had put up just a total of four runs through their last three games prior to that (no game saw more than six runs), and both the Nationals and the Mets rank in the bottom five in the MLB for runs per game.

Nats left-hander Patrick Corbin (0-2, 10.95 ERA) opened the season with two abysmal starts, but he held the Cardinals to four hits through six scoreless innings in his last start. The Mets are hitting .213 against southpaws on the season.

Mets' righty Taijuan Walker (0-1, 3.21 ERA) has yet to allow more than two runs in any start this season and he has 19 Ks through 14 innings of work. The Nats are hitting .221 against right-handers on the season.

8/10* play on UNDER.
