Really tough call. Lannan is the Triple A pitcher that the Nats have tucked away for the Strasburg shutdown. He's been called up twice this year and he's gone 2-0 and looked good. He just tossed a 3 hit shutout his last game in Triple A. Mets clearly have the advantage on the mound though. The kid Harvey is GOOD. With the week bats of the Mets and their bullpen as bad as it is I think the Nats are the play. Really hard call.
