Stephen Nover's Run Line Game of the Year - Largest Run Line Wager of 2021!
(MLB) NY Mets vs. San Francisco,
Point Spread: -1.50 | 106.00 San Francisco (Home)
Result: Win
The Mets just got swept by the Dodgers at home and now they have to fly cross-country after having played in the ESPN Sunday night game.

Major League Baseball certainly didn't do the Mets a favor here with this scheduling spot.

It's the first time the Mets have been on the West Coast - a three hour time difference for them - since June 6. Throw in a late night/early morning long flight and I don't see how the Mets can be sharp going against a Giants team that is a dominant 40-18 at home.

The Mets are 23-35 on the road. They are hurting in the middle infield with Javier Baez and Franscico Lindor both out.

New York also is facing Kevin Gausman, who has been the Giants' best pitcher with an 11-5 record and 2.29 ERA. Gausman is back in strong form, too, allowing just two earned runs in his last two starts spanning 11 innings. The Mets average the second-fewest runs per game in the majors.

Rich Hill is expected to get the start for the Mets, but New York is a fade no matter who starts. Hill has a 4.91 ERA in his last three starts.

The Giants are positioned well for this game. They rested catcher Buster Posey Sunday while also limiting the playing time of Kris Bryant and Evan Longoria.

This is a real kill spot for the Giants so I'm going to lay the 1 1/2 runs on the run line and turn a huge lay price into a plus price.
