The Cincinnati Reds are looking more and more like a team that has nothing to play for, and there's no way I'm getting behind them with Julian Aguiar on the hill. The New York Mets are the hottest team in the league with 9 straight wins, and they need to keep winning as they chase down a playoff spot. Luis Severino has been solid at home, where he has an ERA under 3 and a 2.32 allowed batting average. I have to keep riding the hot hand. Give me the Mets and the reasonable price.
