http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-jason-grilli-jersey , Jacob deGrom (6-7, 1.77 ERA) has been great for the Mets this year, and he is in
better form than American League wins leader Luis Severino (15-5, 3.11 ERA) for
the Yankees. MLB betting line: The Yankees opened as -200 favorites (wager $200
to win $100); the total is at seven runs, according to sportsbooks monitored by

Ryan Rua Jersey , betting picks and a breakdown of this week's top sports betting news. Why the Mets can pay on the MLB linesOne word: deGrom. The
30-year-old righty has the lowest ERA in baseball, and he is coming off an
outstanding performance against the Cincinnati Reds last time out on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old pitched six scoreless innings in an 8-0 victory, walking one
batter and striking out 10 to end a personal three-game losing streak.During
that skid, he also gave up three runs or less in each of the three starts with
three walks and 24 strikeouts. The problem is, the Mets totaled just three runs
combined in those games.Why the Yankees can pay on the MLB linesOffensively, the
Yankees are obviously the superior team, and that helped Severino break a
three-game losing streak of his own in his last outing. David Banks/Associated
PressThe 24-year-old Dominican gave up three runs and seven hits in seven
innings of a 7-3 win on Wednesday after seeing his team get outscored 21-12 in
his previous three starts combined.Before his skid
Drew Robinson Jersey , the Yankees had won six straight times with him toeing the rubber along with 16 of 17. Severino was 12-1 in those 17 games, with
the Yankees winning 12 of them by two runs or more to cover the runline at a 71
percent clip. Smart betting pickThe Mets have won two of the past three meetings
with the Yankees after a six-game series losing streak, according to the
OddsShark MLB Database. In other words, they have a chance here, especially with
deGrom on the mound.Severino has seen his ERA rise more than a run from 1.98 on
July 1, which is concerning for the Yankees down the stretch. Take the underdog
value on the Mets with deGrom in this spot. MLB betting trendsThe Mets are 4-2
in their last six games.
