New York Mets
Moneyline Pick - New York Mets (-320): B-

The New York Mets enter today's matchup riding a two-game winning streak, showcasing strong performances both offensively and defensively. Their bullpen has been particularly effective, with their closer recently delivering a clean save, highlighting the team's late-inning reliability. In contrast, the Chicago White Sox have faced challenges this season and recent injuries that have impacted their lineup depth. Their bullpen has struggled, with a bottom ten ERA in the league.

Given the current form of both teams, backing the Mets on the moneyline appears to be a solid play. While the odds may not offer significant value due to the Mets' favored status, their consistent performance and the White Sox's recent struggles provide a reasonable expectation for a New York victory. It's advisable to monitor any late lineup changes or pitching updates before placing a wager.

Over/Under Pick - Under 8.5 (-115): B+

The New York Mets and Chicago White Sox face off today with both teams experiencing contrasting trajectories. The Mets have been bolstered by strong performances from their starting pitcher and a bullpen that has allowed just 2.6 runs per game over the past week, contributing to their three wins in their last four games. In contrast, the White Sox are dealing with injuries to key players, impacting their offensive capabilities, and have suffered three consecutive losses. Their bullpen has struggled, with one a bottom ten ERA in MLB, and are struggling to convert their save oppertunities.

Given these dynamics, betting on the total runs staying under 8.5 appears to be a solid play. The combination of the Mets' effective pitching staff and the White Sox's offensive challenges suggests a lower-scoring affair. While not a guaranteed outcome, the current form and matchups provide enough confidence to consider the under as a worthwhile option.

Spread Pick - Chicago White Sox, +1.5 (-118): B-

The New York Mets and Chicago White Sox face off today, each dealing with roster challenges and recent performance fluctuations. The Mets are navigating bullpen fatigue after a rough string of games ending in late inning losses, while the White Sox contend with injuries to key players, impacting their offensive depth. New York will start a pitcher who has had mixed results against Chicago's lineup, whereas the White Sox's starter has shown what it takes to be elite but faces a formidable Mets offense. Both teams' bullpens have been tested recently, which could influence late-inning dynamics.

Considering these factors, taking the White Sox with a run advantage appears to be a reasonable play. While the Mets have the edge on paper, the White Sox's potential to keep the game close, especially if their bullpen holds up, makes the run line an attractive option. It's advisable to monitor any late lineup changes or pitching updates before placing a wager.
