Tips and predictions for the Mets at the Blue Jays

forecast

Mets 4, Blue Jays 3

Money line

The MET (-120) are a strong play in the series finale, as the left-handed Manaea faces his former team. Look for the left-hander to pitch with a little more equipment in his old stomping grounds.

New York is in the hunt for a postseason berth, winning 10 of its last 12 games. The Blue Jays (+102) are technically still in the race, but they are at the end of their rope and on the verge of elimination.

Running Line/Against the Spread

If you are more conservative, play the Blue Jay +1.5 (-162) is not priced too high. This should be a good game for both sides, although the home team will only narrowly fall short against their former left-hander.

However, the Mets -1.5 (+134) have failed to secure their run line in the last 3 games, including 2 clear losses.

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (-122) could be the best move on the board.

New York’s offense has managed just 6 total runs in their last 3 games while the under is 3-0-1 in their last 4 games. The under is also 8-3-1 in their last 12 games while the total is a low 5-3 in Manaea’s last 8 starts.

For Toronto, the under record is 2-0-1 in their last 3 games and 2-1-1 in their last 4 home games. The total has also been low in Francis’ 5 consecutive starts.
