UPDATE: The start of today’s New York Mets and Washington Nationals matchup is now scheduled to begin at 2:05 p.m. ET.
Today’s matchup between the New York Mets and Washington Nationals has been delayed due to inclement weather. First pitch was initially scheduled for 1:35 p.m. ET, but the rain showers and heavy winds that are proving problematic for much of the East Coast made this start time impossible.
Stay tuned for updates regarding when this game will begin, as the two sides will be working with the MLB in doing everything possible to ensure the game is played. Today marks the final game of the regular season for every team in the league, but weather has changed the game plan of having each matchup take place at the same time. While there are some notable postseason implications in other matchups around the league worth noting, both of these National League East opponents have already been eliminated from postseason contention.
Looking at the odds for the Sunday afternoon matchup, the New York Mets enter as narrow -112 favorites and hold +148 odds on the 1.5 run line on DraftKings Sportsbook. The Nationals hold -108 odds of winning outright, with the run total set at 8.5.
