Bet on the Mets RL at plus odds with SP Sean Manea on the mound! The crafty lefty is off to a great start (0.82 ERA and 0.73 WHIP) and held KC to one run on three hits with eight strikeouts when he faced them last season. After him, the Mets' bullpen (8th in ERA) will close the door.
I like the Mets' offense to score enough against Royals SP Alec Marsh to cover the 1.5-run line, as well. He went 3-9 record with a 5.69 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through 17 appearances last season as a rookie and is due for negative regression following a better start to his sophomore season. KC's bullpen ranks ninth in FIP but 28th in xFIP, so the wheels are bound to come off soon. New York has enough firepower in its lineup to take advantage of this against a Kansas City team that's been so hot that it needs to cool off.
