Predicted Outcome
This matchup should be a grind. While the Mets are slight home favorites, they’ve been inconsistent behind Montas. Martinez has struggled with run control, but the Reds have quietly outperformed expectations and hold a slight historical edge. Expect a close, low-scoring game with value on the Reds, particularly with the +1.5 run line cover or even a narrow upset win.
