Blue Jays vs. Mets Best Prop Bet

Anthony Santander Home Run (+425) via DraftKings

In today's edition of "Daily Dinger", I broke down why I'm betting on Anthony Santander to hit a home run for the Blue Jays:

The Toronto Blue Jays get to face Griffin Canning of the Mets today, and he has been notorious for giving up home runs in previous seasons. He allowed 2.0 home runs per nine innings in 2021, 1.6 in 2023, and 1.6 in 2024. He has stayed consistent in that metric by allowing a home run in his first start of his 2025 campaign.

The former Oriole, Anthony Santander, has yet to hit a home run since joining the Blue Jays, but let's not forget he went deep 44 times last season. It's time for him to hit his first of 2025.

Blue Jays vs. Mets Prediction and Pick

The Mets may have been able to string together four wins so far this season, but I have some concerns about their offense. They're batting just .184 on the season, the second worst mark in the Majors.

Tonight, they'll face a former Met in Chris Bassitt, who had a solid first start, allowing just one earned run in 6.0 innings. He'll be supported by a Blue Jays offense that's batting .268 and ranking 11th in OPS at .739.

Until the Mets' offense starts playing better, I'll be cautious betting on them as favorites. Give me Toronto as a road 'dog tonight.
