SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION (OFF MASSIVE 6-1 WED, NOW 8-2 L2 DAYS!)
(MLB) Philadelphia vs. NY Mets,
Money Line: -185.00 NY Mets (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the New York Mets.

For the most part MLB handicapping comes down to the starting pitchers and in this case, we feel that the home side has a major advantage. One so big in fact, that we have no issues at all in laying this larger price.

Aaron Nola: He's 1-0 with a 3.27 ERA. He most recently gave up one run off six hits in a 3-2 loss to the Nationals on Friday. Nola needed 90 pitches to get through his appearance, so it was far from a perfect outing. Note that Nola was pretty poor in this spot a year ago, posting a ballooned 4.88 ERA on the road.

Noah Syndergaard: He's 1-0 with a 0.95 ERA. He left his last start early because of a torn fingernail, but he's been cleared to go tonight. Note that he was dominant in this spot last season, going 9-7 with a 2.65 ERA in all "night" games.

The bottom line: Syndergaard is worth the price of admission in this spot. As good as Nola has been, Syndergaard is at an entirely different level, especially in front of the home town crowd. Lay the price with confidence, play on the METS.
