I agree with Micah Roberts -- getting Mets ace Jacob deGrom with his ridiculous 0.69 ERA and 0.53 WHIP under a price of -160 is something that has to be taken. The only other time the Mets were below -160 with the NL Cy Young and MVP favorite on the mound this year was June 5 in San Diego when the Mets were around -120 and won 4-0. DeGrom HAS NOT ALLOWED AN EARNED RUN ON THE ROAD YET. That's impossible. Oh, and he's hitting .414 as a batter.

It feels like a gift to be able to bet Jacob deGrom at such a cheap price. The Mets have won eight straight behind him and, surprisingly, his last three starts have gone Over. After permitting two in his last outing, he has allowed a total of six earned runs in 13 turns this season. DeGrom worked five scoreless innings in a victory against the Braves less than two weeks ago. Look for New York to respond well after allowing 20 runs on Wednesday. Take the Mets to win.

Yes, I know Degrom is starting, and yes I know the Mets have a good bullpen. But the Braves just put up 20 runs last night and it is supposed to be 89 degrees and humid tonight, so I don’t think Degrom will pitch deeper than seven innings even if he pitches a gem. Not to mention, that helps the hitting conditions. Ian Anderson didn’t allow a run in his most recent outing against the Mets and he is more than capable of keeping this game close. The Mets score the second fewest runs per game in the league and the Mets are 17-24 on the road. Take the dog.
