(901) St. Louis Cardinals at (902) New York Mets
4% F5 St. Louis Cardinals (-130) over NY Mets — w/ Gray & Houser —
This is a pitching match up where St. Louis has the definitive edge. I mean it is hard for any team to compete with a SP that has a 23:1 K:BB ratio like Sonny Gray does in 3 starts this season. He has allowed just 2 ERs in over 17 IP, resulting in a 1.04 ERA on the season!
Gray is 3-0 in his career against the Mets with a 2.60 ERA but his team is also 2-1 in the F5 TY in his starts. Houser on the other hand has posted an ERA of 7.45 in his 4 starts and the Mets have dropped 3 straight in the F5 when Houser is on the mound.
Both teams have proven their abilities in the bullpen, so we are going to stick to the F5 here in this one!
