Available at FanDuel. I think my model is pretty low on Tylor Megill, and it's still showing value on the Mets. That's why I'm fine betting them despite the fact that it makes me want to vomit. Megill struggled in Triple-A, and in his first start back in the majors, his old issues were still present. It ain't great. But Charlie Morton on the other side has had his own issues, specifically with command. And despite the pitching exodus, the Mets still have a solid offense with a 113 wRC+ against righties. With Pete Alonso back on fire, I buy into what the model is saying. I have the Mets' win odds a decent amount above 40% while their implied odds are 39.1%.
