Minnesota -1½ over N.Y. Mets
1:10 PM EST. The Mets are arguably the hottest team in baseball, and yet they are an underdog at home today, which might look tempting on the surface but might not be so appealing once all the goods under the hood are considered. Taking the bump for the Mets today is Luis Severino (RHP - NYM), who did not factor in the decision in the Mets' win in extras over the Braves last Thursday night. That was a fortunate result for Severino, who put multiple baserunners on in four of the six innings he pitched, including two walks. That was the fourth straight start in which Severino has walked multiple batters.
Meanwhile, the Twins will send Pablo Lopez (RHP - MIN), who earned a win over Detroit last Friday, allowing two runs over seven innings while walking just one and punching out seven. A two-run homer to Javier Baez was the only damage done in that game, and outside of that blemish, Lopez made the Tigers look silly. It was the second start in a row in which Lopez allowed two or fewer runs, and don’t look now, but Lopez is heating up with four quality starts in his last six turns, where he has dropped his ERA from 5.63 to 4.73. There could still be a correction to the good to that surface ERA, as his xERA is a tidy 3.20. When he is at his best, Lopez is a true ace and one of the best pitchers in baseball. We trust the oddsmakers got it right when they made the Twins the chalk, and we’re going to play Minnesota on the run-line -1½ at a nice plus price.
