    Betting Johan on Sunday
    I know this is an ultra square pick. Mets bats have woken up these past two games, Johan has pitched better after the break. Zach Duke is horrible.

    I hate laying this kind of juice on a road team (especially when Mets are 26-39 on the road) but I don't see this play losing. What angle favors the Pirates? Home team looking to avoid the sweep?

    They have a winning record against lefties but Niese which isn't 50% as talented as Johan is put them away easily.

    I like this but backing the Mets for the 2nd day in a row on the road makes me uncomfortable.

        Too much road chalk.

        This line dropped 8 cents at Pinny after the open.

            i like pirates ml but i might take them +1.5. one of the best angles is home team trying to avoid the sweep.

                  Duke isn't as bad as his ERA shows and the Mets still struggle for hits. I would probably avoid this, but best of luck.

                      i feel like this angle has failed me a lot this year, though i haven't played it religiously.

                        on paper, pitt should easily lose this game... but they are also extremely "due" for a win... so I wont be betting against them until they get one!

                          The Pirates are 4-11 with a average line of +134 since 2008 and 1-4 with a average line of +124 this year when they about to be swept at home in a 3 games series.

                          The Mets haven't lost when they had a chance to sweep away this year.
