The Boston Red Sox have had a rough start to the season as they have opened the season at 1-4 with four losses in a row. The Red Sox pitching staff has not done their part as they have given up seven or more runs in their last four games. The Red Sox offense is led by Jackie Bradley Jr. with eight hits and he has driven in three. He jas been helped by Jose Peraza and Kevin Pillar. The pair have contributed a combined 14 hits and has driven in seven. RBI. Boston will try to get off the snide by sending Nathan Eovaldi to the mound. He has Boston's lone win this season to go with a 1.50 ERA and he struck out four in his first outing. In his career against the Mets, he has tallied a 2-4 record with a 4.40 ERA and 46 strikeouts.

The New York Mets have started the season at 3-2 and have split their last four games. The Met's bats have come alive the last two game plating 15 runs. In the prior three games, they scored just 5. The Mets will give the ball to Jacob deGrom for today's start. He is 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and eight strikeouts in one start this season. deGrom in career starts against the Red Sox he has posted an 0-1 record with a 3.46 ERA and 22 strikeouts. The Mets offense has been led by Michael Confor with six hits and two RBI. Three runs seem to be the magic number for the Mets as they have a 7-1 record in their last 8 games when scoring 3 runs or more.

The Mets offense has been explosive at times this season and their bats look to be coming around now. deGrom can shut down Boston bats that have not looked good all season. I like the Mets on the run line minus 1.5 runs.

Play on NY Mets on the run-line -1.5 runs
