6 OUT OF 10 CONSENSUS on the Mets.

We're going to lay the price here and expect New York to lay the hammer down in the opener of this interleague series. The Mets have been trading wins/losses over their last seven games, and off a 10-3 loss at Washington yesterday afternoon, we expect this pattern to continue here in this favorable matchup. The Rays of course have been the talk of the league to open up this year, but they actually have started to regress of late, going just 2-4 in their last six. Off a tough 8-7 win at New York two nights ago, we think that Jalen Beeks will have his hands full on the road today. Beeks is once again starting out of necessity and he's so far just 1-2 with a 5.40 ERA. Justin Verlander counters for the home side and he's 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA. It's our belief that this line could/should be a lot larger. Lay the price with confidence, the play is New York!

Good luck, TIR
