On the mound for the Mets will be Jacob deGrom and he sits with a 2-0 record and an ERA of 1.62. In 16.2 innings so far this year he has given up one and three runs. Even though deGrom has only made a few starts it's clear he's in mid-season form.

The Mets are 10-1 in their last 11 Thursday games. The under is 2-0-2 in deGrom’s last four games on grass. The under is 7-1-2 in deGrom’s last 10 starts following a quality start in the last appearance. The over is 4-0 in the Mets last four games on Thursday.

deGrom has been lights out so far this year and even against a good offense against the Braves, he will continue the success. The Mets offense was strong scoring nine runs on Wednesday and they will continue the success scoring here. Back the Mets to get the job done on the run line.
