At 7:45 PM ET on Friday (after a rain delay pushed back the original 7:10 PM ET start time), we will be playing the money-line on the New York Mets (974) versus the Toronto Blue Jays (973) listing both starting pitchers Justin Verlander and Chris Bassitt. THE SITUATION: New York (30-27) has won three games in a row after their 4-2 victory against Philadelphia yesterday. Toronto (30-27) has won four of their last five games after their 3-1 victory against Milwaukee on Thursday.

REASONS TO TAKE THE METS WITH THE MONEY-LINE: New York has won 10 of their last 14 contests coming into this weekend's series. The Mets have won 7 of their last 9 games after a win. Verlander gets the ball tonight looking to build on his 2-2 record with a 4.80 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP in five starts. The right-hander has been more effective at home for New York where has a 1.00 WHIP along with a .220 opponent’s batting average in two starts at home as compared to his 1.18 WHIP and .250 opponent’s batting average in three starts on the road. Last year with the Houston Astros, the right-hander posted a 1.64 ERA in his 15 starts at home as opposed to a 1.86 ERA in 13 starts on the road. Verlanders’ teams have won 7 of their last 9 games at home when he is the starting pitcher and priced as a money-line favorite up to -150. The Mets have won 8 straight games at home — and they have won 29 of their last 41 home games when priced from -100 to -150. Verlander should pitch well against this Blue Jays team that is scoring only 4.0 Runs-Per-Game in their last seven games — and they have lost 4 of their last 5 games against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower. Toronto has still lost 9 of their last 13 games. They have lost 5 of their last 6 games after losing their previous game — and they have lost 7 of their last 9 games after a loss by two or more runs. The Blue Jays have also lost 4 of their last 5 games after allowing two runs or less in their last contest. They counter with Bassitt who has a 5-4 record with a 3.80 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP in 11 starts. The deeper sabermetrics are calling for regression with both his SIERA and xFIP projecting an ERA of 4.68 and 4.79 moving forward — and the Regression Gods may have already made their presence known since Bassitt has given up 13 runs in his last two starts (but four of those runs were unearned). Bassitt has been most effective at home where he has a 2.16 ERA, a 0.81 WHIP, and an opponent’s batting average of .127 in five starts — but those numbers rise to a 5.45 ERA, a 1.48 WHIP, and an opponent’s batting average of .275 in six starts on the road. Toronto has lost 9 of their last 13 games against teams with a winning record.

FINAL TAKE: The Mets are scoring 6.0 Runs-Per-Game in their last seven games — and they have won 9 of their last 11 games against right-handed starting pitchers and 49 of their last 68 home games against right-handed starting pitchers. 10* MLB Super Under-Valued Favorite with the money-line on the money-line on the New York Mets (974) versus the Toronto Blue Jays (973) listing both starting pitchers Justin Verlander and Chris Bassitt. Best of luck for us — Frank.

At 6:40 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the money-line on the Miami Marlins (972) versus the Oakland A’s (971) listing both starting pitchers Edward Cabrera and Shintaro Fujinami. THE SITUATION: Miami (29-28) has lost two of their last three games after a 10-0 loss at home to San Diego yesterday. Oakland (12-46) had their two-game winning streak snapped with a 4-2 loss at home to Atlanta on Wednesday.

REASONS TO TAKE THE MARLINS WITH THE MONEY-LINE: Miami had won three straight games before they’re dropping two of their last three contests. They have bounced back to win 5 of their last 7 games after a loss — and they have won 4 straight games after allowing five or more runs in their last contest. Cabrera gets the start tonight looking to build on his 3-4 record along with a 5.02 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP in 11 starts. The deeper sabermetrics suggest he should be seeing better results with both his SIERA and xFIP projecting an ERA of 4.50 and 4.14 moving forward. The right-hander has been more effective at home where he has a 3.60 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP in four starts as compared to his 5.91 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in seven road starts. The Marlins have won 5 of their last 7 games at home. Cabrera has a great opportunity for a great outing against this A’s team that has lost 39 of their last 51 games against right-handed starting pitchers. Oakland has lost 41 of their last 51 games after losing their previous game — and they have lost 20 of their last 27 games after an off day. Additionally, the A’s have lost 40 of their last 52 games on the road — and they have lost 43 of their last 56 games against teams with a winning record. Manager Mark Kotsay will open with Shintaro Fujinami tonight who has struggled as a traditional starter given his 2-5 record with a 12.00 ERA and a 1.97 WHIP. Hogan Harris will then serve as a build reliever despite a 10.13 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP in 5 1/3 innings across two appearances.

FINAL TAKE: Miami has won 4 of their last 5 games against the A’s entering this weekend's series. 8* MLB Friday Daily Discounted Deal with the money-line on the Miami Marlins (972) versus the Oakland A’s (971) listing both starting pitchers Edward Cabrera and Shintaro Fujinami. Best of luck for us — Frank.
