Earliest Cash - Rickenbach MLB Rotation #951 Wednesday 8* OVER the total in Washington Nationals vs New York Mets @ 6:05 ET - If you had the over in this match-up sorry for your bad beat. If you had the under count your lucky stars. The game was 5-3 at the midway point but ended that way. Both teams had 10 hits but the Mets scored just 3 runs courtesy of going 1 for 6 with runners in scoring position and stranding 10 men on base. I know the Nationals Max Scherzer is off a dominating start and is piling up the strikeouts this season but he did allow 4 earned runs in his first regular season start. Also, Scherzer allowed a pair of 3-run bombs to the Phillies in an exhibition game in his start that preceded his start against the Yankees. The Mets are familiar with him and get some runs in this one. The key to the value is we get a low total to work with even though Rick Porcello is on the mound for the Mets. Some are surprised that Porcello hasn't been getting it done on the mound but this is a guy whom had a 5.52 ERA in his 32 starts last season. His better years (2016 was fantastic) are well behind him. Porcello was getting hit hard in spring training back in March and then got hit hard in summer camp too so it comes as no surprise that he is struggling right out of the gate in the 2020 season. More of the same here. 8* OVER the total in Washington
