AAA's BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT (+$16,000 MLB Y-T-D!)
(MLB) San Diego vs. NY Mets,
Money Line: -235.00 NY Mets (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the New York Mets.

Setting the scene: One of these starters has struggled with consistency all year, while the other is putting together perhaps the best campaign of his career. Suffice it to say, we feel that Jacob DeGrom and the Mets are well worth the price of admission in this spot.

Jarred Cosart: He's 0-1 with a 5.79 ERA. He most recently gave up five runs off ten hits over five innings in a no-decision vs. Philadelphia on Sunday. In two starts since being acquired from the Marlins, Cosart has allowed 11 hits, six walks and five earned runs over 8.1 innings of work.

DeGrom: He's 7-5 with a 2.35 ERA. He most recently allowed one run over 6.2 innings in a no-decision vs. Detroit on Sunday. It was DeGrom's third straight quality out and 15th out of 20 this year. Note that DeGrom is 5-2 with a 1.96 ERA at home this season.

The bottom line: After dropping three straight to the lowly Diamondbacks this week, the Mets came up short in yesterday's opener with San Diego, falling 8-6. The team is now one game under .500. It's do or die for the METS, they'll have to find a way to salvage this series or get ready to start planning for next season. Lay the price.
