New York Mets on the run line
Double Play
Game 955
1:05 pm pst/4:05 pm est
I just don’t understand why the Dodgers are the favorite here, as they have lost six of their last eight games, which does include yesterday 9-4 loss to New York. The Mets on the other hand are running hot, winning five a row. Today Gavin Stone and Jose Butto are scheduled to start. Although Stone is coming off one of his best outings of his young career, is just 1-1 with a 6.14 ERA. Butto who is 0-0 with a mere 0.75 ERA, struck out a career best nine batters over six scoreless innings on Sunday against the Royals. And in his two 2024 starts, the RH allowed just one run total over his past seven starts going back to last season. Neither pitcher has faced today’s opponent. I like the Mets on the run line with Butto on the mound, where they are 6-1 on the RL this season on the road, while the Dodgers are just 5-10 on the RL at home this season. Play New York on the run line.
