This is an 8* SITUATIONAL MOUND MISMATCH on the Mets runline.

I like the Mets to bounce back here in the finale of this four game series and to, at the very least, keep it tight enough to earn the cover on the runline option. The first two games were played in New York, and yesterday's game was in Philly.

The Phillies welcome Washington to town tomorrow and hand the ball to Taijuan Walker (3-0, 4.82 ERA), while the hungry Mets counter with Jose Quintana (1-4, 5.44.)

With nearly 85% of the early public money, this one definitely appeals to my contrarian side.

I say Walker regresses and the hungry visiting side does indeed have the real potential of winning this one outright. It's an important game for New York as it looks to regain its footing before a series in Miami tomorrow.

The official is to play the price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance, the play is NEW YORK on the RUNLINE option.

Good luck, NP
