MLB Plays for Tuesday, April 21: Will the Mets End the Streak?

New York has now dropped 11 consecutive games, which is atrocious in its own right, but even more so for a team like the Mets, who were pegged to be one of Major League Baseball's best.

Now, of course, they can turn it around and get back into a rhythm, and in fact, that's what I'm banking on happening tonight. I'm going to be betting the Mets on the run line this evening as they take on right-hander Simeon Woods-Richardson and the Minnesota Twins.

The Twins are on their way to a disgusting losing skid as well, having dropped four in a row, and now they'll send an unstable arm in Woods-Richardson to the mound.

Through four starts and 20.2 innings, he owns a 6.10 ERA and a 5.60 FIP. Additionally, his HR/FB rate sits at 13%, his left-on-base percentage is 66%, and he has a strikeout-to-walk rate of just 4%, while posting a 43% hard-hit rate and a 10% barrel rate.

The list goes on with the poor metrics, but let's just say if there's a pitcher the Mets need to face to snap this skid, there aren't many better options than Woods-Richardson.

Meanwhile, the Mets will turn to a more trustworthy righty in Nolan McLean to hold things down.

McLean carries a 2.28 ERA and a 2.46 FIP. His K-BB rate sits at 22.5%, and he's limiting hard contact with a 31% hard-hit rate and a sub-6% barrel rate.

Let's look for the Mets to snap the losing streak in a big way and take advantage of the plus-money run line price.
