Featured Tip from ATS King
Pick Details
Sport / league:: MLB
Event / fixture:: NY Mets at Cincinnati
Event date: Wed, 25 Sep 2013 at 9:10 AM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Cincinnati Reds @ 1.56 (William Hill)
Tip Result:: Loss
While the 90-67 Cincinnati Reds have clinched a playoff berth, the National League Central is still up for grabs so they still have plenty to play for. The 71-86 NY Mets meanwhile are well out of the wildcard race.
While the Mets are 4-2 in their last 6 and 4-1 in their last 5 on the road, they are 1-9 in their last 10 against Cincinnati, including 0-4 so far this season. Cincinnati bring even hotter recent form into this game, going 6-1 in their last 7 and 6-2 in their last 8 at home.
Cincinnati starting pitcher Mike Leake is in fantastic form with a 0.84 ERA in his last 3 starts. He is going up against Johnathon Niese, who has a 1-4 record against Cincinnati. Leake, meanwhile, is 4-1 record against the Mets.
Based on Leake's imposing form I would take the home side. I think this could be a low scoring game so prefer the head-to-head to the -1.5 line at 2.10.
