VERY EARLY TOP TOTAL: +$20K LONG-TERM!
(MLB) NY Mets vs. Atlanta,
Total: 8.50 | 102.00 Over
Result: Win
This is a 9* TOP TOTAL on the OVER Mets/Braves.

These teams have been playing to some higher-scoring games of late, but we're expecting those trends to end this afternoon.

The Mets have now seen the total go UNDER in three straight after yesterday's 4-1 defeat here. Previous to that New York won the opener of this series by an identical score. Atlanta has now seen the total go UNDER in four straight.

Each has shown a penchant towards producing a lower-scoring outcome in this position though, as the Mets have seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 12 after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row, while Atlanta has seen the total go OVER in five of its last seven after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row.

The Mets hand the ball to Chris Bassitt (6-6, 3.94 ERA), while the home side counters with Charlie Morton (5-3, 4.21.) These teams are neck and neck in the standings with New York having a 1.5 games lead after being up 10.5 games at the start of June.

Both starters have been decent, but this is just a case of each being in the wrong place at the wrong time today, as not only does the overall situation point to a higher-scoring affair today, but so too do the numbers/trends.

For all the reasons listed above, the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
