We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. This particular play is based primarily on common sense. We simply feel that Jacob DeGrom should/could easily be a much larger fav in this particular matchup. DeGrom (5-3, 1.69 ERA) gave up three runs off five hits with three walks while striking out six over six innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Saturday. Despite the "off" night, DeGom still comes in with the sharp ERA, along with a 1.01 WHIP and 126:27 K:BB on the year. The home side hands the ball to Sandy Alcantara (0-0, 0.00) who will make his first career big league start here. Alcantara has a 3.71 ERA and 64:34 K:BB over 85 innings in Triple-A, but clearly he faces a stiff test here. The skies the limit for Alcantara, but DeGrom has arguably been the best pitcher in the entire league over the first half. Great value, play on the METS.
