2% Take the New York Mets (#961)

Since their 0-5 start, the Mets are 12-4 in their last 16 games, among the most profitable teams to support in MLB.  They’re 4-0 in their last four tries coming off a loss, with every one of those victories coming at -115 or lower: three pick ‘em’s and one time as a +150 underdog; a team that has responded well to adversity.  Coming off a 10-0 loss to the Dodgers yesterday, the Mets have all of their key bullpen arms ready behind a lineup that has pounded out five runs or more in nine of their last 12 ballgames.   The Giants have scored more than five runs only once in their last eight ballgames and their bullpen ERA currently ranks #29 out of 30 MLB teams; a team to fade in this price range against a superior squad. Take the Mets.
