METS +115
Once again in no way should the Los Angeles Dodgers be favored and favored in this price range against most any team in baseball. The Dodgers are a bottom of the barrel team right now only ahead of the awful Astros, Royals and Cubs for the worst record in baseball. They go with Ted Lilly in this one as Lilly tries to avoid losing his fourth straight game and he does so coming into this game not 100%, with a tender elbow situation and was pushed back an extra day for this start tonight. He looked very bad in his last outing, striking out no one in almost five innings of work. The Mets continue to play decent baseball as they climbed over the .500 mark last evening with a win. There is a chance they could be getting National League leading hitter Jose Reyes back from injury in this one. Even without Reyes in the lineup last night the Mets managed to stay hot with the bats scoring five runs in the contest. This is a team really swinging the bats well of late as they top the Major Leagues over their past nine game by averaging over seven runs per game during that time. They also sport an above .500 record on the road this year and have won five of their last six away from home and 16 of their last 23 as an underdog. The Mets seem to be undervalued for quite a while now and getting them at this price tonight against the lowly Dodgers is a gift. Take the METS!!!
GOOD LUCK!!!
