Everything is in place for a low-scoring Game 3 here.
Yordano Ventura and Noah Syndergaard are among the top three hardest throwing pitchers in baseball. Both can totally cut loose backed by strong and rested bullpens following Thursday's day off.
The Mets are in a hitting slump. They've scored five runs and have just 13 hits during 23 innings spanning the first two games of this World Series. Ventura stopped a much stronger hitting team than the Mets during his last appearance holding the Blue Jays to one run on four hits in 5 1/3 innings in the decisive Game 6 American League Championship Series. Ventura doesn't have to go deep into the game because of Kansas City's dominant bullpen.
The Mets have never faced Ventura giving him another edge.
The Royals, however, are going to have to deal with Syndergaard, who had a 3.24 ERA with 166 strikeouts in 150 innings during the regular season. Syndergaard has been even better in the postseason posting a 2.77 ERA in three playoff games.
Syndergaard's at his best, too, at home where he posted a 7-2 mark with a 2.46 ERA. The under has cashed in 10 of Syndergaard's last 13 starts at Citi Field.
There are other key factors that point to an under, too.
Mike Winters is slated to be the home plate umpire. He has an under bias. During his five years in the majors, the under has cashed 56 percent of the time with a 154-game sampling.
The weather forecast also is calling for a 10-to-12 mph wind to be blowing in.
