Mets vs Guardians Pick, Betting Analysis
BARTOLO projects the Mets for 3.69 runs and the Guardians for 3.35 this afternoon, which would bring the total under the line.
We have a great pitching duel between Nolan McLean and Foster Griffin, who came in at the trade deadline to bolster the Guardians' rotation.
Although his last outing was awful, Griffin has had a remarkable season with a 1.07 WHIP and a 3.06 ERA. Plus, the Cleveland bullpen is one of the best, ranking eighth in ERA this season with 3.81.
The Mets will miss Juan Soto, and the Guardians lineup is still weak, ranking 25th in MLB with a 93 wRC+ rating.
Pick: Under 7.5 (-105, FanDuel)
