- The Mets look to break a 4 game losing streak tonight behind R.A. Dickey.
- The Nats look to extend into a 4 game winning streak tonight behind Gio Gonzalez.

- Gio Gonzalez
- 12-5 with a 3.32 ERA.
- Last time facing the Mets, he went 3.1 innings and gave up 6 runs.
- Has given up the fewest homeruns (6) and the most walks (45) out of the Nats starters.

- Bryce Harper
- Came through big time with his bat in yesterday's 10 inning win.
- Batting .000 with 3 strikeouts against Dickey lifetime.

- Patience at the Plate. Dickey had to come in for a relief appearance during the last series, meaning he wont be as rested tonight. Let him throw a lot of pitches.
- Stay Away Wright. David Wright was outstanding the last series against the Nats, and his homerun last night shows he doesn't plan on slowing down.
- G-G-Gio Time. He hasn't looked quite the same since the All Star Break. Time for him to get back on track.
