Pick
I’m on the Mets -1.5 here. This is the spot where you need a guy like Max Scherzer to come in and dominate as he has in a couple of his recent outings. The Mets haven’t hit the panic button, but the cover has been lifted and the Mets are becoming concerned to put it nicely. I’ve just had a hard time nailing down what we’re going to see from the Brew Crew game-to-game, but Houser’s given up runs in bunches this season and I look for this game to be no different. Give me the Mets -1.5.
