🍎 Mets ML (-130) ⭐⭐⭐
From a value perspective, the Mets are the right side. Ballpark Pal’s model gives them a 57.8% chance of victory, suggesting a fair price of -137.
Even if it weren’t for the seven cents of value, I would prefer to back New York to defeat Detroit for the second night in a row. The Mets’ lineup has scored 63 runs over the past eight games, including six or more in all five wins over that span. They scored 10 in Monday’s victory over the Tigers.
Detroit will open with reliever Sawyer Gipson-Long, who has a 4.32 ERA in six games this season. I think the Mets can get off to a fast start, paving the way for this moneyline wager where a $10 bet nets a $7.69 profit at FanDuel.

⬆️ Cedric Mullins Over 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs (+115) ⭐⭐⭐
Given I expect the Mets’ lineup to lead the way, there is value in some offensive props. I’m targeting the plus-money price on Cedric Mullins’ hits, runs, and RBIs market, as a $10 bet nets a profit of $11.50 at DraftKings.
THE BAT X’s model shows value on this Over, projecting 1.97 hits, runs, and RBIs for Mullins. He hasn’t recorded a hit since Aug. 24, but I expect that drought to end tonight. He has 16 hits, 11 runs, and seven RBIs in 25 games since joining the Mets.

How do baseball odds work?
When betting on MLB, the run line shows how many runs the favorite needs to win by in order to cash the bet. For example, a favorite of -1.5 must win by two or more runs to cover the run line, while an underdog at +1.5 must win outright or lose by one run to cover the run line.
Moneyline odds represent the payout for picking the outright winner (+200 means a $100 bet wins $200, while -200 means a $200 bet wins $100). Over/Unders let you wager on whether the combined total of runs will be higher or lower than the set number.
