GAME OF THE MONTH (MLB): MIKE'S SUPER EARLY TOP RATED TOTAL
(MLB) San Diego vs. NY Mets,
Total: 7.50 | -108.00 Over
Result: Win
The San Diego Padres and the New York Mets will clash at Citi Field for the opener of a four-game series Thursday afternoon. With both sides on the lower end of scoring average in MLB and two quality pitchers on the mound, I'm confident we'll see this game go under the total despite the low number.

The Mets hand the bal to righty Jacob deGrom (5-7, 3.02 ERA) who has posted a 1.42 ERA in three starts on the month. deGrom' owns a 1.79 ERA in seven career outings against the Padres and the under is 4-1 in his last five starts versus the club.

The Padres turn to Eric Lauer (5-7, 4.31 ERA) who had allowed just one run in each of his last three outings prior to getting smacked around by the Cubs in Chicago on Friday. That was his first game back after some time on the bereavement list, and I expect a much more focused appearance today.

Under is 12-2 in Padres last 14 overall. Under is 4-1 in Mets last 5 overall.

10* play on UNDER.
