Mets vs Reds Betting Prediction

New York comes into this game looking for their first series win of the season, but they did blow a nice lead in game two on Saturday. Cincinnati has been the better offensive team in this matchup, but the Mets have had the pitching advantage. The Reds are starting Andrew Abbott, who allowed two earned runs over 5.1 innings against the Phillies in his first start. The Mets are going with Sean Manaea, who threw six scoreless innings against Detroit in his first start. I really like both of these pitchers and with the Mets not hitting very well to start the season, I am rolling with the under here.
