Cincinnati Reds vs New York Mets Prediction
The New York Mets have caught fire over the last week, and it's to the point I'm not going to step in front of it. Wins like last night only add to the confidence. It doesn't help that the Cincinnati Reds have nothing to play for at this stage, and they play like it most nights. The Mets are rolling and starting to close the gap on a potential playoff spot. The line is reasonable. Give me the Mets.
