New York Mets vs Washington Nationals 5/13/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The New York Mets will go against the Washington Nationals in MLB action in Nationals Park, DC, on Saturday, May 13, 2023, at 4:05 PM ET.

On Saturday, Joey Lucchesi will be chosen. Lucchesi struggled in his previous start against the Rockies, allowing three runs in four innings, which resulted in a no-decision and a loss for the Reds.

The rookie left-hander dominated the Giants in his season debut, pitching seven innings of scoreless relief. However, he did not look strong since, with a 4.43 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and a 1-0 record in 20.1 innings.

Last month, Lucchesi faced the Nationals and went 5.1 innings while allowing three runs. In 24.2 innings versus the Nationals, he has a 4.38 ERA.

The Mets are eagerly awaiting Starling Marte to recover from his at-the-plate slump. All the 34-year-old does is hit .8 RBIs on 213 hits and a weak .563 OPS.

In three games this season versus the Nationals, he only has two hits and one RBI. New York is currently averaging 4.16 runs per game, which places them in 24th place.

The pitching staff’s 4.73 collective ERA places them 23rd overall.

The total went UNDER in 6 of the NY Mets’ last 8 matches.

New York Mets vs Washington Nationals Predictions 5/13/2023

On Saturday, Trevor Williams will take the mound. Williams is hoping to bounce back from his worst performance of the season, in which he allowed five runs, including two home runs, in 4.1 innings against the Diamondbacks but was saved by the Nats’ offense in a victory.

The right-hander is enjoying a fantastic season, allowing two runs or fewer in six of his previous seven starts, and has a 4.25 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 1-1 record, and 36 innings pitched.

Williams is 3-1 with a 3.00 ERA in six career encounters and gave up four runs in five innings against the Mets last month.

Last month, Joey Meneses had a strong series against the Mets, racking up five hits in 14 at-bats while driving in two runs.

The 31-year-old is on fire right now, collecting six RBIs in his past five matches to bring his season total up to 16 RBIs and a .687 OPS. Meneses is 0 for 3 against Lucchesi in his career.

Washington ranks 26th in the league with a season average of just 4.03 runs. The pitching staff’s 4.44 collective ERA ranks them 19th overall.

The total went UNDER in 8 of Washington’s last 11 matches.
The total went UNDER in 5 of Washington’s last 5 matches at home.
The Washington Nationals are 1-4 SU in their last 5 matches at home against NY Mets.
