Mets vs Red Sox

Queens bats look ready to rattle the Green Monster

New York Mets

Mets (29-17) VS Red Sox (23-24)

May 19, 2025 | 6:45 p.m. ET | Fenway Park

Boston Red Sox
Moneyline Pick - New York Mets (-140): B

New York arrives at Fenway having dropped their last game, while Boston stumbles in dropping four of their last five and a lineup still missing key pieces up the middle. The Mets’ power has traveled well in May, and they bring a rested bullpen and expected reinforcement in the rotation that should help steady things over nine innings. Boston, meanwhile, is leaning heavily on a starter with little recent support behind him, especially with a bullpen that’s taken on too much work in the past week.

This matchup leans clearly in favour of the Mets, with momentum, depth, and bullpen stability all in their favour. Even in a hitter-friendly park, the visitors’ recent form and run differential suggest they’re more equipped to handle high-leverage moments. The price may not scream value at first glance, but the combination of recent trends and roster health makes it a strong play.

Over/Under Pick - Under 9 (-110): B

New York enters this one riding a decent run of form and looking increasingly comfortable above the .500 mark, while Boston continues to slide, now losers of six of their last ten with a lineup that’s struggled to offer consistent support behind its top bat. Both teams have solid arms on the mound tonight, with New York's starter having historically neutralized Boston’s main offensive threats and Boston’s own arm keeping the Mets’ lineup in check during prior Fenway meetings.

Add in the fact that both bullpens are rested following a travel day and that cool late-spring air tends to hold the ball inside the park, and the case for a lower-scoring game strengthens. The posted total of nine runs looks a bit inflated considering these factors, making the under an appealing angle.

Spread Pick - Boston Red Sox, +1.5 (-130): B

New York rolls into this one dropping their last game and the series to the Yankees, missing key pieces in both the rotation and bullpen, which puts added pressure on tonight’s starter against a Boston team heating up at the plate slightly. Even without full lineup health, the Red Sox have had a productive stretch from the heart of their order despite having bad form in their last five, and their home-field edge has been notable so far this season. With a starter who’s been fairly sharp at Fenway but has yet to face the Mets in his career, the ingredients are there for Boston to stay competitive.

Taking the extra 1.5 runs offers a cushion in what could be a tight matchup, especially with New York’s recent form and travel factors. The value may not leap off the board, but it’s a sound wager given the trends and home/road splits.
