Reds vs Mets MLB Betting Preview, Picks
Chase Burns is one of the better young pitchers in the league, but his strikeout stuff is largely negated by Juan Soto, and Burns has struggled heavily with lefty power, allowing a career 1.60 HR/9.
This ballpark isn't great for power, but with the wind blowing out tonight, the ball should be flying well.
Soto is one of the best power bats in the league, and I have the true odds here around +350, making this a great bet.
Pick: Juan Soto 1+ Home Runs (+390)
