Mets will repeat because the starting rotation is still good enough

Last MLB Season, the Mets rode arguably the best pitching rotation in baseball to a National League Pennant win. The Mets’ rotation this year is still plenty good. It boasts the exceptional Noah Syndergaard and equally adept Jacob DeGrom. Syndergaard has a devastating fastball while DeGrom has allowed only a single run in his last 20.2 innings pitched.

Throw in rookie Steven Matz, who is one of only 4 players offering MLB Rookie of the Year odds in sportsbooks, and the Mets appear destined for another trip to the World Series. 

Mets won’t repeat because the rotation is good but not good enough

The rotation is good -but it’s not good enough. The Mets are 9 games behind Washington for the NL East Division as of August 8. They are 2 games behind the Marlins, a game behind the Cardinals, and about 4 to 5 games behind the Dodgers and Giants for a wild card berth. New York’s rotation was much better last season. DeGrom controlled things from the outset. Syndergaard developed into a world beater. Also, The Dark Knight, Matt Harvey, asserted himself as the season wore on.

In reality, DeGrom has been good but not great. Harvey is out for the season. The pitching rotation is good. It’s just not good enough for the Mets to get by the Washington Nationals, the San Francisco Giants, or the Chicago Cubs in the NL.

Online bookies should use pay per head in order to set max betting limits on all of the teams in the NL, not just the Mets, to win the NL Pennant. Second, bookies should lower the odds on the Mets at +2200 to win the pennant. The Mets are only 2 games behind the Marlins for a wild card spot. The Marlins are at +1200 while the Mets are at +2200, that doesn’t make sense. Keep a close eye on The Mets heading into the NL Pennant.

Bookies will also want to keep track of future wagers on the Mets to get back to the World Series. One of the advantages of using per head is being able to keep track of these future wagers.

PayPerHead.com is offering a per head deal just for the NFL. Bookies can test their premium industry-leading platform for as little as $3 per head (a 77% discount) for a limited time only. Grow your business before the NFL season starts.
