T.M. Selection: New York Mets - ML

Carlos Carrasco (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Freddy Peralta (0-0, 0.00 ERA)

I like the New York Mets to win this game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. You may think that Carrasco is getting old and won't be as capable. But, last year, he was actually very strong. With his 15-7 record, he owned an ERA under four. He's 2-1 in his career against the Brewers and should have no problem here. In fact, this is the perfect opening matchup for him. The Milwaukee lineup is poor and they are coming off a big game. On the other hand, Peralta is just decent. He went 4-4 last season and wasn't really that strong. In his one start against the Mets, he may have won, but he gave up 4 ERs in just 5.1 innings pitched. The Mets are definitely the better team in this matchup and I believe they own the better pitcher. At plus money, this was an easy selection.

T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Mets.

Line: +106
