At this short price, I'll lay the Mets in a pitching matchup of Matt Harvey versus journeyman Jason Hammel.
Harvey has proved he can overcome Tommy John surgery. The Mets are 5-1 in Harvey's six starts this season. Harvey has a 2.72 ERA and is pitching on five day's rest, which is the best scenario for him. Harvey has given up just two runs in 15 2/3 innings this season when pitching on his normal five day's rest.
The 32-year-old Hammel is a backend of the rotation type starter with a 3.52 ERA. He hasn't faced the Mets since 2011, but has a career 6.33 lifetime ERA versus them in four career starts.
