Mets vs White Sox MLB Betting Preview
New York Mets Betting Preview
Action PRO projects Mets starter Christian Scott for 5.27 strikeouts today against the White Sox, giving us a solid 11.5% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 6.5, which is good enough to mark the under with a B grade in our system.
Scott is having a rough month, with a 5.87 ERA in three starts in August.
Today, he faces MLB's best offense in wRC+ over the past two weeks, with a 121 rating.
The White Sox have managed to do that while cutting down on strikeouts, with a 22.6% K rate in that span compared to their 23.9% over the entire season.
Scott has been consistently fanning five to seven batters per outing this year, but against this red-hot White Sox lineup, and considering his own struggles, we'll go for the low end of that range.
Let's fade him today on his Ks line against Chicago.
Pick: Christian Scott Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-154, DraftKings)
