How To Make Mets vs Red Sox Picks
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”New York Mets ML” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/nym.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/new-york-mets” link1follow=”false”][/subheader]
I’m trusting the road team in this interleague matchup.
New York enters the contest after a disappointing loss to the Yankees on Sunday night.
The Mets hold the advantage on the mound tonight with their ace, Kodai Senga.
Senga has been outstanding this season, with a 1.02 ERA across eight starts.
He has allowed one run in May and should continue his strong pitching tonight.
Hunter Dobbins will toe the rubber for Boston. He has struggled in May with a 4.86 ERA across three starts.

I expect the Mets to get length out of the right-hander tonight.
As mentioned, Senga has allowed one run in May and is currently pitching at an extremely high level.
He has thrown 87 pitches or more in five consecutive starts, which shows the Mets are allowing him to pitch deep into games.
The righty will deliver a high-level start and cash this prop tonight.
