The Line
opened up at New York as a favorite of -180 and has been bet down slightly to
-175. The OU line currently stands at 7.5 with juice on the under (-120)
The
pitching matchup for this game has Wade Miley of the Red Sox taking on Noah
Syndergaard of the Mets.
Wade Miley has not been great in his
first year in Boston as he has gone 10-10 with a 4.51 ERA overall for the year
and he is coming off a bad outing vs the White Sox, in which he allowed 5 ERs
on 13 hits in 6.2 innings. That start was on the road and he is now 4-6 with a
4.56 ERA away from home. Wade has just 3 career starts vs the Mets and he is
0-1 with a 3.71 ERA in those starts.
Noah Syndergaard has turned into one
of the better starters on this New York staff and comes into this game with an
8-6 record and a 3.19 ERA overall. At home he has been exceptional, going 7-1
with a 1.82 ERA and that compares to going 1-5 with a 4.91 ERA on the road and
h is 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA in 4 day starts. He has not faced the Red Sox in his
career.
Important
Stats: On the road this year the Red Sox have hit just .234 overall, including
.229 vs righties, while scoring 3.76 rpg. Their pitching has not been god on
the road at all, where they have a 4.60 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. The Mets at home
have hit .232 overall, but they have struggled vs lefties, hitting just .215
off of them at home. They have scored 4.09 rpg at home. Their pitch has been very
good at Citi Field, where they have a 2.99 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP.
The Mets have been involved in many
high scoring games of late, but that came to an end Saturday afternoon when
they lost to Boston 3-1. I expect another low scoring game here. Wade Miley has
not been good on the road this year, but vs the Mets he doesn’t really have to
be great as they have hit just .219 vs southpaws at home. The Sox have hit
righties at just .229 on the road and they wil face a very tough on in Noah
Syndergaard, who is 7-1 with a 1.82 ERA at home. His home starts have gone 7-2
to the Under with just 6.67 rpg being scored. Both offenses will struggle to
score in this one.
Take the Under 7.5 here.
