New York Mets Odds

New York Mets 2021 Season

From a new front office and manager to new players through trades and free agency, new owner Steve Cohen has been extremely busy since taking over the Mets a season ago. Cohen & Co. brought in a second ace in Max Scherzer to join Jacob deGrom while adding Starling Marte, Mark Canha, and Eduardo Escobar to the field with Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso.

Mets fans are all too familiar with seeing a stacked team on paper fall behind by the All-Star break in the preseason. Will the on-field play prove the fans wrong in 2022?

Betting on the New York Mets

Mets Spread (Run Line)

When betting on baseball, you’ll be faced with three standard options: the moneyline, over/under, and run line.

The run line is a bet on the margin of victory, like a point spread. But because baseball is low scoring, the spread will almost always be -1.5 for the favorite and +1.5 for the underdog. The payouts for each will just be adjusted based on each team’s strength.

Here’s a brief example of a run line for a hypothetical Mets game:

• Philadelphia Phillies (+1.5)
• New York Mets (-1.5)

1.5 runs against the Phillies favor the Mets; the minus sign (-) indicates New York is the favorite, while a plus sign (+) is used to denote the underdog. Bettors who wanted to back New York here would be “laying” those 1.5 runs, meaning for their bets to cash, the Mets would need to win by two runs or more. Bettors who selected the Phillies +1.5 would win if Philadelphia won outright or kept a loss to 1 run.

The Mets were 70-92 on run lines in 2021, covering 43.2 percent of the time – putting them in the bottom 2 in the league.

Mets Moneylines

Many first-time bettors are wary of run-line bets, especially when riding with the hometown team. In that case, moneyline wagers are often seen as the safer way to go. A moneyline bet is a bet on who wins the game -- no run line involved.

Let’s use the same example from before to understand the moneyline better:

• Philadelphia Phillies +150
• New York Mets -180

Like run lines, the minus sign (-) signifies a team is favored, while the plus sign (+) means a team is an underdog. The moneyline odds, written in American odds format here, indicate how big or small a favorite that team is, written in increments of $100. For example, to win $100 on the Mets, a bettor would need to risk $180. On the flip side, a $100 bet on the Phillies would net $150 if they pulled the upset.

The Mets went 77-85 in 2021, putting them in third place in the NL East and in the bottom half of the league record-wise.

Odds can differ from sportsbook to sportsbook, so always make sure you shop for the best line with The Action Network app.

Mets Over/Unders

Betting on a team to win or cover a run line isn’t the only type of wager allowed on MLB games. Almost all sportsbooks will offer a total on the game, also known as an over/under. This bet is not on the contest's winner but on the number of runs the two teams will combine to score; sportsbooks hang a number, and bettors can wager either over or under that total.

If the number for our hypothetical Mets-Phillies matchup were 8 runs, over bettors would require 9 points or more to cash their tickets, while those who bet the under would need 7 or fewer runs. If the two teams scored precisely 8 runs between them, that bet would push, and all wagers would be refunded.

Mets totals in 2021 were in the bottom 10 in the league when betting the over, hitting at a 70-84-6 clip.

Mets Props

Some bettors find more entertainment and success betting on more specific outcomes than the game's result. Prop bets cover a wide market of wagers on player stats, discrete in-game events, and any yes/no question style. Many props are bets on specific players and their performance, such as betting Pete Alonso over 1.5 hits on a given night or betting that Jacob deGrom will strikeout over 9.5 batters. Some props can be shorter, such as betting on the number of runs scored in the first five innings or who will hit a home run. Offerings vary depending on the sportsbook, so use our sportsbook reviews to find the best bet for you.

Mets Futures

Expectations are low in New York, so bettors will have to shop for the best line to get good odds on Mets futures bets. Futures are bets that focus on long-term outcomes, like the Mets winning the NL East, winning the National League Pennant, winning the World Series, or even in individual awards like winning league MVP.
