Juan Soto has been the only positive for the Nationals this season, as he has been on an absolute tear despite the poor performance by his team. If the Nationals want to get something out of this game, then Soto will need to step up.
The Mets are certainly the better side in this matchup, and they would love to go 2-0 up against a struggling and young Washington team.
