What the numbers say
Atlanta looks like the clear side here at -157, riding an 8-2 last-10 stretch with a +119 run differential that dwarfs the Mets' -53. New York's Christian Scott carries the lower ERA at 3.15 versus Bryce Elder's 3.69, which may explain why the spread isn't wider. The total sits at 8 with the under slightly favored at -105.

The market
Under 8. The desk did not make a call on this game. We are not calling it value: against our own no-vig line it is priced about right. What is below is a price comparison, so you take the best number on offer rather than the first one you see.
