Mets vs. Rays Prediction and Pick

I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:

The Rays are looking to close out their homestand on a high note after getting a 6-2 win over the Mets last night. They’ve won five of their last six games and seven of their last nine, with five of those seven victories coming by at least two runs.

On the other hand, the Mets have lost five of their last seven games, and all five losses were by at least two runs.

Griffin Jax gives the Rays an advantage on the mound over Justin Hagenman, and Tampa Bay has been dominant at home (47-24) all season long.

Pick: Rays -1.5 (+119)
