Pete Alonso played hero with a game-tying home run in the ninth inning for the Baltimore Orioles in a 7-5 win over the New York Mets to keep them alive in the AL Wild Card race.

The O’s are now looking for the sweep in New York, while the Mets have lost three in a row and four of their last five contests.

Chris Bassitt will get the ball for the Orioles tonight against one of his former teams.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Orioles vs. Mets on Wednesday, Sept. 16.

Robert Stock threw 5.1 shutout innings two starts ago, but that was in between allowing 10 runs in eight innings in his two starts around that.

Orioles vs. Mets Best MLB Prop Bets

Orioles Best MLB Prop Bet

  • Chris Bassitt OVER 3.5 Strikeouts (-162)

Chris Bassitt isn’t usually too much of a strikeout pitcher, but four isn’t a lot of punchouts, and he’s had at least five in two straight starts and four of his last five.

There is a bit of juice here at -162, so I’d consider a step ladder up to OVER 4.5 (+135) and maybe even OVER 5.5 (+280) as he reached six strikeouts in two of his last five outings.

Orioles vs. Mets Prediction and Pick

I don’t quite understand why the Orioles are underdogs tonight.

Sure, the Mets are at home, but they’re 34-42 at home while the Orioles are 38-39 on the road. And it’s not as if New York has the better pitcher on the mound. If anything, Bassitt gives the O’s an edge over Stock, or you can call it even if you really want to.

Of course, Baltimore also has the narrative of “more to play for” as well as the O’s sit three games back of the final AL Wild Card spot with two teams ahead of them.

Pick: Orioles +112
