EARLY RUN-LINE SPECIAL (OFF B2B 4-1 CARDS!)
(MLB) NY Mets vs. Miami, 04/02/2023 1:40 PM, Score: 5 - 1
Point Spread: 1.50 | -157.00 Miami (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* RUN-LINE SPECIAL on the Marlins.

This is the finale of a four-game series here in Miami. New York is so far 2-1. With a chance to even things up, I think the Marlins have a legitimate shot at winning this one outright.

However, I'm going to lay the price for the extra 1.5 runs of insurance.

The Mets hand the ball to Kodai Senga, who makes his MLB debut here. He spent 11 seasons in pro ball in Japan, with a 104-51 record and 2.42 ERA. He could go on to become the next Yu Darvish, but I still think that Trevor Rogers has the slight advantage here.

Rogers is only 12-21 with a 4.13 ERA over three MLB seasons and 55 starts. That's for various reasons. He come sin off a decent Spring though and he's 2-1 with a 2.76 ERA in six career starts vs. the Mets.

In a contest that I see being decided late or even in extras, I'm laying the price for the 1.5 runs for MIAMI.

Good luck, NP
