(MLB) San Diego vs. NY Mets,
Money Line: -148.00 NY Mets (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the New York Mets.

Setting the scene: The Padres are on the outside looking into the playoff picture, while the Mets are still in a dog fight for the second wild card spot. After getting swept by the lowly D-Backs this week, we think the home side comes in focused to this matchup.

Paul Clemens: He's 1-2 with a 4.61 ERA for San Diego. He's yet to win for his team since coming over on the waiver wire at the end of June. Clemens has a 4.00 ERA in all "night" contests.

Logan Verrett: He's 3-7 with a 4.66 ERA, forced into a starters role due to the injury to Matt Harvey. Verrett has been solid at home though with a 3.53 ERA.

The bottom line: This has essentially become a do-or-die series for the Mets, one which will determine if they continue the fight for a playoff spot or starting planning for next year. We think the desperation level in which the home side plays with today will turn out to be the difference. Play on NEW YORK.
