With the loss of Mark Vientos and Edwin Diaz working back to back days, I don't love this setup for the Mets. They came in last night and stole that win after blowing the lead late as the Dodgers continued to chip away, and I don't trust that bullpen if Diaz is (likely) unavailable after working back to back days. Mookie Betts should be back for this one so we get the Dodgers at pretty much full strength and against a pitcher in Tylor Megill who pitched into the 6th inning just once in May, with a 5.96 ERA.
What a Bizarro Monday. Seven MLB games, seven road winners. My Angels-Red Sox F5 Under pick went Over in the top of the first! That made me laugh a little. I expect back to normality tonight when the Dodgers should have both Mookie Betts and Will Smith in the lineup as LA looks to avoid a rare three-game skid. Mets closer Edwin Diaz and top setup man Huascar Brazoban are likely not available. Starter Tylor Megill has a 4.71 road ERA. Third baseman Mark Vientos left last night's 10-inning win injured.
