This is a 10* on NYM

We shouldn’t have to sell you too much on the idea of betting Jacob deGrom. The Mets have won the last eight times he has started and he hasn’t allowed a run in five of those outings. He’s allowed only four runs total in the eight starts and only six all season! Yes, this is an all-time great season as deGrom has a record-setting 0.69 ERA and 0.53 WHIP. He hasn’t even allowed a single run on the road. We could think of no one better to be on the mound as the Mets look to rebound from a humiliating 20-2 loss to the Braves last night. In retrospect, Atlanta probably should have “saved” some of that scoring for today. deGrom did allow two runs in the last start, but that was after allowing zero runs in five consecutive starts. Honestly, it’s just as simple as betting the best pitcher in baseball in this one. This will be just the third time in his last 11 starts that deGrom isn’t a favorite of -235 or higher on the money line. The other two were both against San Diego and the Mets won those.
