Caesar’s. Michael Soroka has allowed at least five hits in five of his seven starts this season. He pounds the zone, leading all qualified starting pitchers in zone percentage this season. The Mets don’t swing and miss much, with the fourth lowest whiff rate. Thus, I expect a lot of contact today - the Mets as is have a .277 batting average against righties over the last two weeks. Soroka has struggled more against lefties (.259 average), and the Mets likely start six southpaws.

The Mets have won five straight, four of those by multiple runs. Ace Kodai Senga has a 1.13 ERA in six home starts and 0.93 in five day starts. He also had a quality start in DC on April 25. Washington's Michael Soroka has a 5.85 road ERA and both Juan Soto (6-for-10, 2 HR) and Pete Alonso (4-for-12, HR) have good splits off him. Meanwhile, Nats slugger James Wood is in a mega-slump at .167 this month even after two hits last night in another loss.
