They have injured players who are very important to the team, not to mention a few things that you can't measure with Saber metrics or statistics. Harvey wasn't even supposed to pitch today and that doesn't bode well for guys like him who are big on routine. Murphy destroys the Mets, look at his numbers against the Mets last year. Plus the nats took 12 of 19 in the season series last year. These teams have been trending in opposite directions (mets lost 4 of last 5, nats won 5 of last 6) over the last week and even though the price looks good at first glance, it's not a good spot to take them. Nats are the better team right now
