Twins vs Mets Prediction
This price is ridiculously cheap when you consider how well the Mets have played up to this point and how poorly the Twins look. Also, Megill has been ridiculous through three starts, allowing 11 hits and one earned run through 14.1 innings while striking out 17. Ober has been solid in his last two starts, but he’s still given up 16 hits and 10 runs through 12.2 innings this season. It also doesn’t matter how well Ober pitches when you consider the Twins have scored three or fewer runs in 10 of their first 17 games. The Mets and the soft price has to be one of the better bets on Tuesday’s MLB card.
