New York Mets vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

For the rest of the month, every game the Mets play needs to be treated as a playoff game. New York has won eight of their last ten games overall, but they're in a battle with the Braves for the final playoff spot and are still technically alive in the NL East.

Fransico Lindor leads the team in batting at .269 with 84 runs batted in. First baseman Pete Alonso leads the squad in homers, launching 31 home runs.

Brandon Nimmo has had a strong season, blasting 18 long balls and 75 RBIs.

Southpaw Sean Manea will get the rock tonight. Manea is 11-5 with a 3.43 era.

The Blue Jays start the contest with a 69-77 record. Toronto has played much better over the last three months after a rough start to the season.

The Jays trail the final wildcard spot in the AL by 8.5 games. Toronto will be eliminated from playoff contention over the next couple of weeks.

While the season has been disappointing for Toronto, they have reasons to be optimistic about the future with young talent remaining on this roster.

The team star is Vladimir Gurrero Jr. Gurrero leads the team, batting .321 with 28 home runs and 94 RBIs.

Veteran George Springer has added 19 home runs and 56 runs batted in. Bo Bichette had a rough season, batting .222 over 80 games. Bichette has not played since July 19th.

Bowden Francis gets the nod today. Francis is 8-4 with a 3.72 era.

New York Mets vs. Toronto Blue Jays Pick

I love New York to bounce back today after a poor showing last night. Manaea has been one of the best pitchers on the road this year, with a 2.90 ERA and a 6-2 record away from home.

Additionally, our OC+ Positive Value Bets Tool loves this play. The expected value of the Mets moneyline is 20.29 percent.
