The MLB odds have the Mets listed as -125 money line favorite and +160 on the run line. The over/under is currently at 8.5 total runs.
Toronto Blue Jays:
The Blue Jays come into this game 48-44 overall after dropping their last two games at home to the Red Sox where they gave up 20 total runs. They’re in desperate need of a good pitching performance and what better guy to do it than the ex Mets left hander, Steven Matz. Just six months ago New York traded him to Toronto for three young arms. Matz had a terrible 2020 season with the Mets and the majority of his numbers ranked near the bottom of the league, but it seemed to be just what he needed to back to his old self. Matz now as a Blue Jay is 8-4 overall this season with a 4.43 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP. He’s coming off a win against the Rangers on Sunday, where he shut them out over 5 innings.
New York Mets:
The Mets come into this game sitting at the top of the NL East at 50-43 overall and 28-14 at home this season. The 25-Year Old rookie right hander, Tylor Megill will take the mound for New York. This will be his sixth career start, where he’s 0-0 overall with a 2.62 ERA and a WHIP of 1.20. Megill pitched 6 scoreless innings against the Pirates last Saturday and he’ll be looking to duplicate that performance tonight against the bats of the Blue Jays tonight.
