Mets vs. Nationals DFS MLB Picks, Betting: 4 of Last 5 in Series Go Under Total

Gambling911.com has your daily fantasy MLB picks for the Mets vs. Nationals matchup where the total is just 6.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Matt Harvey (2013: 9-5, 2.27 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Stephen Strasburg (2014: 14-11, 3.14)

Harvey and Strasburg are both solid starting pitchers for daily fantasy rosters though careful consideration must be paid to price.  Whereas ace Strasburg comes in at $10.5K, Harvey provides a more attractive price point at $8.8K.

Harvey was also magnificent against Washington last season, going 1-0 with a 0.82 ERA in three starts, including one in Washington in which he lasted eight frames without giving up an earned run.  During the month of April he is 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA.

This one will go UNDER 6 as four of the last five in the series have gone UNDER this current total with another of the past six meetings hitting that number.
