Now, let’s get that money into the green!</p><p>Season Record 10-9-1, -0.02 Units</p><h2 id="twins-at-mets" class=" uppercase break-words">Twins at Mets</h2><p>The Mets offense will likely not remain this bad forever. But right now that can’t hit their way out of a paper bag. They’ve slashed a pathetic 204/.245/.288 over their 11 game losing streak, good for a league worst 52 wRC+ over that span. It doesn’t matter lately whether they’re <a href="https://deadspin.com/five-early-2026-mlb-takes-that-might-already-be-true/" target="_blank">facing Dodgers aces</a> or mediocre A’s starters, they make them all look like peak Pedro Martinez. But fwiw they face their one-time prospect Simeon Woods-Richardson today as the Twins bumped him up a day to replace the injured Mick Abel. SWR seemed to have discovered something in the middle of 2025 as he pitched to a 3.00 ERA and 1.06 after June 15th. Well whatever he discovered, he seems to have lost it again as he sits at 0-3 with a 6.00 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through 4 starts with a hideously low 12% K%.</p><p>Getting good pitching has not been a particular problem for the Mets lately, certainly not <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/nolan-mclean-looks-to-stop-mets-losing-streak" target="_blank">when Nolan McLean takes the ball. </a></p><p>Through four starts, he has a 2.28 ERA and 0.78 WHIP with a 31.8% K%. He’s yet to yield more than 2 ER or four hits in any start. It’s also going to be on the chilly side tonight, so I really just don’t see a scenario where there’s much offense. The Mets should finally end their two week winless drought…I mean it’s tough to get a more one-sided pitching matchup. But it’s probably on the back of McLean, so I’ll roll with the under.</p><p>Yankees at Red Sox</p><h2 id="under-75--110-fanduel" class=" uppercase break-words">Under 7.5 (-110 FanDuel)</h2> </section><p><span class="inline-block mr-3 uppercase shrink-0 font-bold">Our Current Best Offers</span></p><p>Channel debug: <span class="font-semibold text-gray-700">betting</span></p> <section id="section-3"> <h2 id="yankees-ml--108-fanduel" class=" uppercase break-words">Yankees ML (-108 FanDuel)</h2><p>Going to run counter the pitching matchup here as it’s kind of a mismatch that favors Boston at first glance. Connerly Early has a 2.29 ERA which sounds fantastic and is really helpful for a struggling team that hasn’t hit well and is getting scary bad results from ace Garrett Crochet. But that ERA is a little misleading as Early has a .4.25 SIERA and 5.24 xERA. He’s just walking too many as his 11.9% BB% will attest and yielding way too much dangerous contact with a 92 EV against. His K% is 23.8% which is above average, but not exceptional enough to consistently offset his other flaws.</p><p>He’s facing Luis Gil, who has <a href="https://www.si.com/mlb/yankees/onsi/red-sox-series-change-yankees-move-forward-luis-gil-01kpp9cvsdx5" target="_blank">pitched every bit as bad</a> as his 7.00 ERA indicates. His 4.9% K-BB% is likely not a very small sample size fluke as he had a 3.3% K-BB% in 57 IP last year. If he can somehow get through the order twice and the Yankees are in range, they’ll take it.</p><p>So why ride with the weak pitcher? Well it gives us a rare chance to back the Yankees at a good price and there is a big gap in offense here. The Yankees have a teamwide 110 wRC+ and have mashed 32 homers, vs. an 87 wRC+ and league worst 13 bombs for the Sox. It’s debatable Boston can fully take advantage of Gil, so give me NY.</p> </section><p><span class="inline-block mr-3 uppercase shrink-0 font-bold">Our Current Best Offers</span></p><p>Channel debug: <span class="font-semibold text-gray-700">betting</span></p> </div> #MLB #Betting #Picks #Today #Expert #Picks #Tuesdays #Slate #Deadspin.com
