Join Discord for earlier access: https://discord.gg/HjKxYKdSUy Mets-Nationals has recent scoring noise, but 4.5 in the first five is a real number. New York is still missing several key bats, and Washington has softer lower-order production behind Wood and Abrams. F5 Under 4.5 is a bet against another instant blowup, not a bet that the full game stays quiet.
