BONUS PICK: 7:10PM EST: Marlins ML EVEN (3 Units).
Jesus Luzardo came back from the IL and was sharp against a good Phillies lineup, 5.2 IP and 2 ER. Unfortunately, he wasn't fully stretched out to complete the 6th inning, so his bullpen let one of his earned runs in. The Mets offense ranks 28th in OPS in the Month of May. They've scored more than 4 runs in 9 innings just once over their last 9 games and it was 5 in a blowout loss to Philly. They scored 3 on the bottom of the Phillies bullpen in the 8th down 10-2. The Marlins don't have many, but they have a few quality bullpen arms and they're fresh from a day off yesterday. The Mets also rank 24th in OPS vs Lefties.
Christian Scott starts for the Mets, and he's been a fast-climbing prospect. He didn't pitch higher than Double A last year and made 5 starts at Triple A this year before being called up. He had a 3.2 ERA in 5 AAA starts allowing 7 Homeruns. He's allowed just 4 runs through 2 MLB starts (12.2 IP) but allowed 3 in his most recent to Atlanta. This Marlins offense isn't great but it's still an MLB lineup. More tape out on Scott and minor leaguers could hit him. Scott's not some Major League Ace.
8:15PM EST: Cardinals ML -105 (2 Units).
BOS starter Brayan Bello came back from the IL last week and allowed 2 runs over 5 innings but he really didn't pitch very well. WSH ran into 3 outs on the basepaths, lined out 3 times, and 3 of their 5 Hard-Hit balls resulted in outs. He faces a Cardinals offense that’s finally come alive, hitting .292 with a .790 OPS over their last 5 games. Former MVP Paul Goldschmidt turning it back on has a lot to do with that.
STL starter Kyle Gibson has a 2.1 ERA over his last 5 starts, never allowing more than 2 earned runs. He shut out Boston the last time he saw them at the end of 2023 as a member of the Orioles. The Red Sox offense has been cold, batting .225 with a .654 OPS in May, averaging just 3.2 runs per game. The Cardinals also had the day off yesterday, so their bullpens freshly rested. Boston used 5 relievers and all their high leverage arms in a loss to TB last night.
