The New York Mets are set to play the Cleveland Guardians in Cleveland on Tuesday. A handicapper for the New York Post, known as "Stitches," has placed a bet on the Mets to win the game at odds of +125.
This prediction comes as part of the Post's betting coverage. The handicapper, who has been providing MLB picks since 2019 and also won the Post's NFL Best Bet crown last year, is wagering on Sean Manaea and the Mets. The notes also include speculative betting odds from a reader regarding player Giancarlo Stanton's performance and return from the injured list.
Further commentary in the betting notes includes a hypothetical wager on Stanton striking out more times than he hits home runs. The author also references a recent game where Michael King of the Padres gave up a home run to Tim Tawa, contributing to a 5-1 loss for the Padres.
