New York is in desperate need of a win, and it will turn to Nolan McLean, the Mets' top pitching prospect, to turn things around in his MLB debut. McLean has 127 strikeouts in 113 2/3 innings in the minors this year with a 2.78 ERA with Triple-A Syracuse. The UNDER is 5-0 in Seattle's past five road games against right-handed starters, and the Mariners have gone UNDER seven of eight road games overall. Bryan Woo hasn't been quite as effective on the road, where he is 4-4 with a 3.62 ERA compared to 6-2 and 2.39 at home. New York's bullpen hasn't been a major problem, as it has 35 saves and a 1.30 WHIP. It's the starting rotation that New York hopes to shore up with McLean in the mix. Take the Mets and the UNDER.
