Seattle Mariners at New York Mets Prediction

With Marco Gonzales on the mound for Seattle, the Mets come into the game as the heavy favorite. Through 6 outings, Gonzales’ advanced metrics show has pitched worse than his ERA of 3.91. On the season, his FIP is at 7.19 and an expected ERA at 6.04. On the other side, Max Scherzer is having another outstanding season. The Mets -204 doesn’t have a lot of value, so instead, I like New York -1.5 runs.
