The Mets are in a losing funk and it’s going to be another losing game for them in this matchup against a very good Cleveland team at home with a much better bullpen, with Lively on the mound. He has been solid for the Guardians and they are going to outplay the Mets in this game. The Mets offense has been silent for a while now and they struggle against right handed pitchers like Lively. The Guardians will win this game as the Mets won’t be much of a threat with Megil on the mound who hasn’t played since March of this year and tries to shake off the rust. The Mets are 3-6 this season in an inter-league game. Cleveland is 7-2 this season as a home favorite of -125 to -175. Cleveland is 14-5 this season too after allowing 2 runs or less. Take the better team who is at home.

Best bet: take Cleveland on the moneyline (ML).
