After two of their last four games were rained out, the Mets are coming into Detroit for a three-game series with the Tigers with a decent bit of rest and some fresh legs despite a Monday doubleheader that they split with the Braves. The Tigers meanwhile enter this game after dropping three of four games to the Orioles. We’ve got all the expert Mets vs. Tigers predictions you need to make yourself some money at BetMGM Sportsbook today.

The Tigers are currently a paltry 8-16 in non-division games this season, struggling even more outside of the division than they have overall at 10-17 as such it’s very difficult to factor a Tigers victory into our expert Mets vs. Tigers predictions. Home underdogs are always tempting but the Mets roster is just miles better than the Tigers at the end of the day and even with Joey Lucchesi on the mound the talent difference should be insurmountable.

As such, (-150) for a Mets win on the money line is actually a pretty decent price. You don’t often get a legitimate contender (injuries and all) at better than -200 odds against the cellar dwellers in the MLB so you have to take advantage of that price any time you can. Our expert Mets vs. Tigers predictions are in and we’re backing the Mets money line at -150 odds at BetMGM Sportsbook.

If you guessed our Mets vs. Tigers run line picks would mirror our expert Mets vs. Tigers predictions, you’re absolutely right. While the Mets at (-150) on the money line is a good price, you can get plus money on the run line by taking the Mets run line -1.5 (+115). For all the reasons we mentioned above the Mets should be able to beat the Tigers fairly comfortably.

All we need to get this ticket home is a Mets win by at least two runs, and if the Mets can even just play to their average they should be able to pull this out. The Mets are averaging 4.52 runs per game. In comparison, the Tigers are averaging over a full run less per game at 3.26. With such a big disparity, it feels like you basically have to take the plus money on the Mets run line and know you’re on the value side win or lose.
