MLB Betting Trends

Detroit

The Tigers are 22-47 in their last 69 road games. Detroit is 1-4 in its last five Saturday games.

New York

The Mets are 9-4 in Vargas' last 13 starts. New York is 7-0 in its last seven home games.

Prediction:

Don't ask me how the Mets are winning most of Vargas' starts as he is super hittable, but maybe the bats just know they need to provide him plenty of run support. They should score a lot against Carpenter, who has yet to prove he knows how to get out MLB hitters. In a battle of bad starting pitchers, Vargas is less bad and New York has a lot more offensive firepower. Expect the hosts to get it done here unlike last night.
