The Mets and Nationals begin a three-game series in Washington on Tuesday, with key factors including the stabilization of the Mets’ starting rotation, the resurgence of star players like Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, and the performance of relief pitcher Ryan Helsley. Predictions suggest Soto will be the series MVP, David Peterson will excel on the mound, and Luis Garcia Jr. could pose challenges for the Mets.
