PUNTER MLB
MLB best bets: Thursday, 10 May
By Josh Chahal -May 9, 2018
WE’VE had some dreadful luck go against us but it’s only a matter of time before these things start to even out once again.
Here’s our best bets as we look ahead to a new day:
New York Mets @ Cincinnati Reds
The Mets will look to claim their three-game series against the Reds but will need a better performance from Zack Wheeler at the mound. The right-hander allowed five-runs in the opening innings in his last start against the Rockies but has had a better time throwing at Great American Ball Park. In his lone appearance against Cincinnati he is 1-0 having allowed just a single run in six innings pitched but will need more from his offence than they produced last game. Despite their recent struggles the Mets are still averaging 5.00 runs per game on the road this season and will look to get to Sal Romano from the get-go in this one. Romano normally doesn’t offer more than five innings of work when given the start and currently sports a 4.21 ERA on the year. The issue for the Reds is that they still own a one of the worst bullpen’s in the league and so having Romano hit early will put a lot of pressure on their relief pitchers in this one. If you offered even money on the Mets to win this series we’d have taken it, so to get $1.90 in the decider works all the same.
Tip: New York Mets @ $1.90 (Crownbet) (1 unit)
Pittsburgh Pirates @ Chicago White Sox
The Pirates will look to make it three straight wins when they play the final game of their two-game series against the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. Their win in the opener moved them to 7-2 against American League opponents and they’ll hope starting pitcher Trevor Williams can continue his strong start to the year against an inconsistent White Sox lineup. Williams has held opponents to a .193 batting average and owns a 3-1 record and an ERA of 1.69 in interleave play so far this season – he’s also given up two or fewer runs in six of his seven starts so far this season.
Tip: Pittsburgh Pirates @ $1.88 (Crownbet) (1.5 units)
