New York Mets vs Texas Rangers

Nolan McLean is having a strong season — 3.18 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 189 Ks in 172.2 innings — a legitimate top-of-rotation arm. Texas counters with Cody Bradford, who is 0-5 with a 4.19 ERA and concerning 1.50 WHIP in only 38.2 innings. The Mets hit RHP (vs Bradford) at .713 OPS and have several hot hitters recently (Ewing, Baty, Vientos in ❄️ form recently but multiple other hot bats). The Mets are near even-money at -107, representing solid value for the superior pitching matchup. Texas hits LHP (Bradford is LHP) — wait, Mets throw RHP McLean vs Texas LHP Bradford — Rangers hit LHP at .762 OPS which is a threat, but Bradford has been poor this year.
