The New York Mets have lost both games in their series against the Red Sox where they have totaled just two runs. Payton Tolle has had issues at home in two out of his last three starts. This includes his last home outing where he gave up six runs and two home runs in just three innings of work. Value play here on the veteran Wagaman hitting a home run.
Mets rookie Zach Thornton pitched a gem in his second career game on June 26 vs. the Phillies. But now he gets the Red Sox, who are crushing left-handers to the tune of a .936 OPS this month. The Mets’ bullpen in July is a hilarious 10.70. Boston needs to score runs here, while Sox LHP Peyton Tolle, who has a 2.87 ERA on the road, can limit a Mets lineup that's managed two runs so far this series.
