With an 11-run explosion of offense Friday, the New York Mets have ensured they remain the most attractive OVER bet in all of baseball. The total has gone OVER in 10 of the Mets’ past 11 games with New York and their opponents averaging nearly 12 runs per game in that span. The Mets will continue their three-game series against the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park on Saturday.
Jacob deGrom appears to finally be finding his groove, with the 29-year-old allowing just one earned run while pitching 17.0 innings in his past two starts. However, both of those came at Citi Field where deGrom has been solid this season. On the road, deGrom has a 5.19 ERA while allowing opponents to hit .277. In his most recent road outing, he allowed 10 hits and eight earned runs in just 4.0 innings.
Much like deGrom, Johnny Cueto has been starting to look like his former self, with four quality starts in his past five trips to the bump. The big right-hander is still giving up plenty of hits and home runs, though, surrendering 35 hits and six homers across his past five.
