Expert Betting Tips

In this matchup, I'm going to stick with the New York Mets. Carrasco had a bad start against St. Louis on June 18, with three innings pitched and five runs earned, but he is coming off a solid performance against Philadelphia, with four innings pitched and two runs earned. However, Carrasco will need to display a strong performance in this arena. On Thursday, the Mets' pitching rotation as a whole turned in a really nice performance for the team. Despite having nine hits as a team, the offense was unable to create enough runs. I believe that the New York Mets will make a comeback in this area.
