New York is 6-1 in their last 7 games following a loss and 62-29 in their last 91 home games while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 Wednesday games.

Pick

I’m backing the over here. I think this is a tough spot for both starting pitchers here as Griffin Canning had a strong start in his debut but now has to face a team with a pulse while Jhony Brito was rocked in his first start and it’ll be interesting to see how he responds here. I think this is simply a high-scoring game so I’ll roll with the over here.
