The Mets looks to stay hot against the Marlins tonight
The Stank:
I'm all in on these guys—I'm about to make it my third or fourth day in a row betting the Mets to hit over their first five team total prop. They've pulled me in every single game, and they're primed for an offensive explosion.
Especially against Marlins starter Yonny Chirinos, has the worst pitcher rating on today's slate by Batters-Box.com. He's up against a Mets lineup that's just shy of having an elite matchup rating, boasting three elite hitters and zero poor performers, with only one hitter above the league's strikeout rate.
Miami has been giving up the most runs in the first five innings this season, averaging 3.08 per game overall and 3.13 per game at home. The Mets are overdue for a breakout game in this series, and today feels like their moment to shine.
In the numbers we trust. Amen.
Total Bases Prop: Pete Alonso Over 1.5 (+140)

The Stank:
These odds are downright disrespectful.
Today, New York slugger Pete Alonso steps up with an elite rating from Batters-Box.com. Since returning from the break, he's already shown solid form, hitting safely in two out of three games. Facing the Marlins, notorious for their struggling rotation, Alonso is poised for a breakout game.
This season, when rated elite, Alonso has surpassed 1.5 bases an impressive 62.5% of the time in just eight games. It's a small sample size, but the stats speak for themselves. Going up against Miami's starter Yonny Chirinos, who carries a disappointing 5.76 ERA and a 1.72 WHIP, Alonso's prospects soar. With Chirinos struggling to deliver effective pitches, this feels like the perfect setup for Alonso to deliver a standout performance.
Sprinkle of the Day: Pete Alonso Home Run (+550)
- When elite over the last three seasons homers 27.59% of the time (58 elite ratings)
