Let’s dive into my FULL CARD for March 27th and get ready for an exciting day of baseball!
🥃 ON THE ROCKS: Underdog Play of the Day – Mets Moneyline (+110)
We’re taking the New York Mets on the Moneyline at +110 against the Houston Astros today! Here’s why the Mets have a strong shot to win this matchup:
1. Pitching Advantage:
✶The Mets are sending Clay Holmes to the mound, with a powerful fastball and a devastating slider, Holmes has the ability to generate swings and misses, making him a tough matchup for the Astros’ lineup.
✶His strikeout rate has improved, and he has demonstrated good command, minimizing walks and limiting hard contact. If Holmes can keep hitters off balance and utilize his pitch mix effectively, he can neutralize the Astros’ potent offense.
2. Key Additions to the Lineup:
✶The Mets recently added Juan Soto to their lineup, providing an extra boost of power and on-base ability. Soto’s presence adds depth and makes the lineup more dangerous, especially against a quality pitcher like Framber Valdez.
3. Historical Performance:
✶The Mets have had success against Framber Valdez in past matchups, allowing them to feel confident stepping into Houston. If they can execute their game plan and capitalize on scoring opportunities, they could pull off the upset.
Final Take: While playing in Houston presents its challenges, the combination of a solid pitcher in Holmes and the addition of Soto makes the Mets at +120 an intriguing underdog play today.
