Answer:

Alkoxides tend to be stronger bases than the hydroxide ion. Adjacent atoms in an alkane chain will donate electron density to oxygen, allowing it to be more polarizable. ... So one would expect methoxide to be a better nucleophile than hydroxide because it is a stronger base than hydroxide and still remains unhindered.
