Best Bet: Under
Both of these starters have only made a few starts this season, but they have not given up much. The Mets will want to score early again, but they will also try to avoid giving away leads so easily. In Game 2, the Tigers will want to get off to a stronger start and play cleaner ball in order to keep pace, for that first seed.
