Game 153 lineups: Nats at Mets

NEW YORK - You want to see the kids? Well, tonight you get to see the kids.

After playing his regulars three straight nights in Atlanta, Dusty Baker is giving them the series opener against the Mets off, instead going with a lineup full of youth, energy ... and inexperience. We'll see how that pays off against New York right-hander Robert Gsellman, who has been touched up for 13 runs and 20 hits in nine innings against the Nationals this season.

Edwin Jackson, meanwhile, gets the start against a Mets lineup that has changed dramatically over the course of the season. Between injuries and trades, there are a whole lot of new names (and guys in new positions) in Terry Collins' starting nine.
