In Spring Training, the New York Mets didn’t let the Washington Nationals see their big three. The strategy was a wise one in my opinion. The Nationals added several new players this winter from American League teams. Even those returning wouldn’t know what other tricks they may have up their sleeves.
Fortunately, the Mets can give the Nationals their best three in the upcoming series which begins on Tuesday. The rainout on Sunday and scheduled off-day on Monday allow them a chance to pitch Noah Syndergaard, Zack Wheeler, and Jacob deGrom in a row.
