The New York Mets ended their six-game road trip last week with back-to-back defeats in San Francisco, which handed them just their second series loss of the 2022 MLB season. New York has bounced back in a big way, sweeping a three-game set against Philadelphia before trouncing the Washington Nationals 13-5 on Monday in the opener of their series. The Mets, who own a 9.5-game lead in the National League East, look to extend their home winning streak to seven games when they host the Nationals in the middle contest of their set on Tuesday. New York is a -200 money-line favorite in the latest Mets vs. Nationals odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while Washington is a +175 underdog.

First pitch at Citi Field is set for 7:10 p.m. ET. The game is one of 13 on the MLB schedule for Tuesday evening. Other matchups include the Chicago Cubs hosting the Milwaukee Brewers for the third contest of their four-game series and the Colorado Rockies continuing their three-game set against the visiting Miami Marlins.

The model, which simulated every game on Tuesday's schedule 10,000 times, is taking the Marlins (+1.5 at -150) to cover the spread against the Rockies at 8:40 p.m. ET (see tickets at StubHub). Miami registered only five hits en route to a 7-1 loss in the series opener on Monday. And it's no surprise that two of them were recorded by Garrett Cooper, who continues to swing a hot bat.

The 31-year-old outfielder has registered two hits in three of his last four contests and posted five multi-hit performances in his past eight outings. Jesus Sanchez, who belted 14 home runs in 64 games last season, flexed his muscles in the opener by hitting the longest shot in the major leagues this year. The 496-foot blast tied him with Mike Piazza (1997) for the second-longest in Coors Field history, eight feet shy of Giancarlo Stanton's record-setting homer in 2016. Sanchez will attempt to get in the record book against Colorado right-hander German Marquez (1-5, 6.30 ERA), who has allowed eight home runs this season -- all at home.
