Cincinnati at New York

New York will look to David Peterson, who has won his past three decisions, to snap a four-game skid. At the same time, the Mets need to start hitting again to regain their early-May form, when they went 11-6. Peterson allowed one run in five innings against Washington when the Mets won 2-1 on Thursday. New York's relievers did not give up a run in 5 2/3 innings on Monday. The Mets bullpen has a 3.37 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP this season. Four of the past six meetings at New York and six of nine meetings overall have stayed UNDER. The Mets have stayed UNDER four of five overall and seven of nine against the NL Central. Take the Mets to win, and bet big on this game staying UNDER.
