MLB: Monday's Play

Play: N.Y. Mets/St. Louis over 7.5 -105 (deGrom vs. Martinez)

Time: 8:10 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Carlos Martinez will start in place of an injured Adam Wainwright. This will be Martinez's second career start (the other came on 08/08/13). He has a 4.67 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP overall and has blown all five (yes, all five) of his save chances this season. In 2013 Martinez had a 5.08 ERA in 21 appearances. The Mets will run Jacob deGrom out there and, though I think he has a bright future, he has allowed seven runs on 14 his in 10.2 IP over his last two starts. The Cardinals hit 21 points higher and score a half-run more per game vs. RH. New York's bullpen has a 3.96 ERA in its last 10 games and St. Louis relievers have combined for a 3.62 ERA overall. Mets road games average 9.24 runs and Cardinals home games average 8.24 runs.



Record: 104-74-6 (58.4%)
Bankroll: +84.27%
