Pick

I’m backing the under here. These are the types of matchups that you bring in a guy like Justin Verlander for if you’re the Mets, and if you’re Gerrit Cole you get up for these games to go head-to-head with the best. We saw a massive offensive outburst on Tuesday but I think Wednesday we see a bit of a pitcher’s duel so give me the under here.
