New York Mets Insights
- Nolan McLean – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+120/-150)Nolan McLean will hold the platoon advantage against 6 opposing hitters in this game.Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform better against right-handed hitters (and the same for lefties). Having this advantage against a lot of opposing hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
- MJ Melendez – Over/Under HitsMJ Melendez has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (50% of the time), but he is projected to hit 8th in the lineup in this game.Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
