Cespedes was pulled yesterday from the game with a pulled hamstring. Quite possibly will be out the weekend vs the Nats.
oh, and David Wright was moved to the 60 day DL. Just shocking....

Nats have Roark, Gio, and Scherzer set for this weekend. Mets have de Grom, Harvey, and Wheeler. 1st 2 games Mets feel like they have to get a split at least I'd think. You don't want Sunday to be here with Scherzer vs Wheeler- where a loss and you're 5.5 games back after 3 weeks.

And I read Cespedes is going for an MRI and that Collins is concerned. But like you said, this is par for the course when it comes to the Mets.

It's just so amazing. Nats really benefitting from it. Even though Nats have had some injuries of their own(Turner, Drew) and slow start from Rendon. For the Mets to be down 2.5 games having played only NL east non Nats teams- devastating I think.

devastating is a bit hyperbolic, no? The Nats haven't exactly played a tough schedule. The Cardinals (the only non-NL East team they've played) has been one of the worst teams in baseball, with a -21 run differential. I'm not trying to minimize what the Nats have done, just saying they've hardly played a murderer's row

At best the schedules are equal. For the Nats to be 2.5 up (3 in loss column) with that schedule- huge. And now if the Nats took 2 of 3 or God forbid a sweep- being 3.5 up(4) or 5.5 up(6)- wow.

way too early to be concerned either way. But I'm sure the Nats will win the division. It's as good a bet as there is in the league
