New York at St. Louis

img1:15 PM Eastern

The Mets have gone UNDER in four of their five games this season. They had only four at-bats with runners in scoring position in a 3-0 loss to the Cardinals yesterday. Look for New York to bounce back with Freddy Peralta making his first road start as a Met. Peralta was brilliant with the Brewers last season, going 17-6 with a 2.70 ERA and 204 strikeouts in 176 2/3 innings. St. Louis has gone UNDER in each of its last two games, scoring a combined five runs. The Cardinals are starting lefty Matthew Liberatore. He looked good in his first start this season, holding the Rays to one run on seven hits in five innings. The Mets were five games better than the Cardinals last season. They also went 25-22 vs. southpaw starters. The wind will be blowing in from right field, and there is a high chance of rain. Take the Mets and the UNDER.
