The Mets vs Nationals live stream is scheduled to start at 7:09 p.m. ET / 4:09 p.m. PT today (Thursday April 1). It will be on ESPN.
The Mets vs Nationals live stream is here and there are a lot of good arms between these squads. In total we’ve got five Cy Young awards between these starting pitchers, so the line-ups will have their hands full keeping pace in this MLB live stream. The pitching matchup alone is well worth the primetime placement. Jacob deGrom takes on Max Scherzer.
The Mets ace was again masterful last season, with a 2.38 ERA and finished third in the Cy Young voting despite winning just 4 games. For Scherzer, he’d like to forget much of 2020. The three-time Cy Young award winner struggled by his standards, posting an ERA north of 3.00 for the first time in his six seasons in Washington.

As for the bats, the Mets added one of the biggest this offseason when they traded for Francisco Lindor. During his six seasons in Cleveland, Lindor hit .285 with an on-base percentage of .346 while averaging 29 home runs per 162 games. He also put two Gold Gloves and two Silver Slugger awards in his trophy case as the AL’s top hitting shortstop.
The Nationals are led by one of the best and youngest in the game, Juan Soto. The 22-year-old was dominant from the dish last season. He led the majors in batting average (.351), on-base percentage (.490), and slugging percentage (.695). All that while hitting 13 homers.
The Mets start the season as 1.5 run favorites. The over/under is 7 runs.
How to avoid Mets vs Nationals blackouts with a VPN
OK, somehow you're travelling right now, or you've been hit by a dreaded local blackout -- and you can't watch Mets vs Nationals. Live streams are still possible in your neck of the woods, with a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town (or somewhere that blackouts won't hit), and access the same streaming services you already paid for.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service. But you've got other VPN options as well. Here are our top picks.
