This is a 10* ASSASSIN on the New York Mets.

I think we're getting excellent value on this one, for a number of different reasons I look for Noah Syndergaard and company to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. The Diamondbacks have been rolling, having won five of their last six and three straight away from friendly confines, but as primarily a situational handicapper, these are exactly the types of games that I keep my eyes open for, there's no question that this does in fact set up as a classic letdown spot for Arizona as it embarks on its final series before the break. Conversely, the Mets come into this game with momentum and will be super eager to finish the first half on a high note after finally getting over an extended stretch of futility. Also note that the Diamondbacks have consistently struggled in New York, losing eight of the last 13 since 2011, while being limited to a meagre .217 average in the process. New York is 29-14 at home this year and turns to Syndergaard (3-4, 3.38 ERA) who is 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA and .174 opponent batting average over his last four starts and who is a near perfect 3-1 with a 1.89 ERA in five starts in The Big Apple. The visitors counter with Chase Anderson (4-2, 3.71 ERA) who gave up three runs over six innings in Friday's 4-3 home win over Colorado; Anderson is trending in the opposite direction of Syndergaard, he's 1-1 with deplorable 7.64 ERA over his last three starts. In our professional opinion, this is the very definition of great line value, play on the METS.
