New York Mets

The New York Mets averaged 4.43 runs per game a season ago and it will not be long before they get back to this level. New York will face twenty-six year old lefty Bailey Falter (1-0 4.20 ERA), who owns a career 4.73 ERA. Over their previous ten games, New York has averaged 6.3 runs and will go over the total in the series finale.

Pick: New York Mets Over 4.5 Runs (+100)

Francisco Lindor

Four-time All Star Francisco Lindor got off to a woeful 1-for-24 start at the plate and is currently hitting .145. There are some signs of positive regression and his expected batting average is about 150 points higher. Lindor has always been a better right-handed batter and has two hits in six career at-bats against Falter.

Pick: Francisco Lindor Over 1.5 Total Bases

Pete Alonso

The New York Mets were staring at an 0-6 start, before Pete Alonso hit a solo shot to propel his team to their first victory. Alonso has six home runs in 67 at-bats and has hit 40 or more long balls in consecutive seasons. Pete has taken Bailey Falter deep once in six career at-bats..

Pick: Pete Alonso Over 0.5 Home Runs
