Analysis
Pinnacle on Ny Mets Most likely due to the pitching matchup, the oddsmakers have this contest priced as a pick ‘em. With the way these two teams are trending right now, I have to ride with the Mets on the moneyline. Mainly, this is all about Luis Severino and this matchup against Texas. The right-hander has looked fantastic over his last two starts (14.0 IP), posting a 1.29 ERA. New York is also 3-0 SU in his last three starts. Severino gets a Texas squad that’s in shambles right now, currently riding a four-game losing streak. They’re just 29th in team batting average (.208) and dead last in OPS (.569) over the last 15 days! In our dugout, New York has been cranking the ball recently, ranking third in both team batting average (.292) and OPS (.850) over the last 15 days. Over their current six-game winning streak, the Mets are putting up 7.5 runs per game. They’ll also be running into a bottom-tier bullpen, which ranks 26th in ERA (4.67) and 24th in WHIP (1.35). Finally, Severino has carved up this lineup in the past, limiting the current Texas roster to a slash line of .178/.245/.200 over 45 at-bats. Let’s not overthink this one, let’s ride with the hotter team that is the New York Mets.
