Mets -176

Shouldn't this be around -200? I realize they're away, but much better pitcher, Mets on fire... pound play?

I just came to make a thread and say the same thing. My book has them at -185 and i still see value here.

Koehler is capable of pitching a good game but last time he faced the Mets on August 3rd he gave up 6 ER in 4.3 at Miami.

Dee Gordon leads the league in hitting, Christian Yelich is probably starting today, Prado has been solid all year, and Bour has been very hot of late.

Degroms only bad start of late came when he was sick vs the phills and was a complete fluke.

Line puzzles me a bit.

[gregmav1]

Agreed with everything you said. Marlins have been hitting recently, but Mets have been REALLY hitting. Mets hitting > Marlins hitting, and DeGrom >> Koehler.

[WildBillCappin]

Thing is, Mets don't NEED this game. They aren't worried about a collapse like in the past.

On the othersidr i know they plan on skipping at least Syndergard and Harvey their next scheduled start. They could do the same thing with Degrom. This would make them REALLY WANT THIS GAME. Getting wins with both their aces before giving them both a skipped start would be pretty big for them.

I'm not sure that I would agree that they are out of the woods yet, and they know it. A full month of baseball left, and Nationals have been really hitting the last few days, and I'm sure Mets know that. They want to keep this lead up until a week or two left in the season

[WildBillCappin]

Mets strength of schedule for the remainer is weak as shit. Besides Nationals I don't think they play another team above .500. Only thing is Nationals have an even weaker strength of schedule believe it or not.

Also they play at least 4 more games vs Nationals. They will definitely want this game after reading your last post I changed my outlook.

Now which way will the line go? I have it at -185 right now, im in tristate area though with lots of mets fans.

[gregmav1]

I think it goes up, who would put money on Marlins

Pound this Mets lock play! Pound that $h1t!!

[gregmav1]

Well, line has fallen to -170 somehow, who knows. I'm rolling with Mets. Lock it in, 6-3 W.

[red12sox]

I like the under.

[WildBillCappin]

Sweating this game now. Have it in a big parlay with Yankees. Hoping Mets bullpen can be unlike itself and produce a few holds

[gregmav1]

Yeah I'm on it straight and in a parlay... going to be a nailbiter till the last out if they can finally take the lead again

Pound this Mets lock play! Pound that $h1t!!

This was the signal to throw a unit on the Marlins but I didn't see it in time.
