ROGERS' 10* MLB MONDAY MAYHEM (EARLY!)
(MLB) Atlanta vs. NY Mets,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -125.00 Atlanta (Away)
Result: Loss
It is Strider vs Reyes in Game one of the Braves/Mets double header today. Strider has been arguably the best pitcher at this point in the season. Reyes, just back from Triple A, has been sharp in relief but isn't stretched out as a starter. Game one could be something of a bullpen day, which is problematic given the Mets' injury-riddled pitching staff.
I like Strider's chances against anyone, and he has certainly been getting run support, 18 in his last two appearances. The Braves have a very dynamic offense. The Mets' bats have been sulking of late. I expect another huge game from Strider. Take the Braves on the run line at -1 1/2.
