4 unit San Fransisco Giants (-113) over New York Mets (Wood/Carrasco) –
Cookie Carrasco hasn't seen much action this season, and the action that he has seen, hasn't exactly been easy to watch. He is 0-2 in his 5 starts with a 8.82 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP, and in his L3 starts his ERA is 14.63, including a 14.14 ERA in his 3 home starts. While the Mets have struggled with Carrasco on the mound, they have also struggled with lefties recently, they are 2-8 in the L10 games as a dog vs. a LHP, and they are 3-7 when a LHP is closing out a series (including 1-5 in LGS @ H vs. a non-divisional opponent). San Fran on the other hand is hot, and has one of their top pitchers on the mound looking to close out the sweep. Wood may have an ERA slightly over 4.00 but a 10-4 record shows that this team can get behind Wood, the Giants are 4-1 in his L5 as an AF < -110, 15-4 in his 19 starts vs. a RHP (including 14-1 when the line is < -110) and he is 7-1 when closing out a series (including 3-0 on the road). Alongside the fact that Wood is going H2H w/ Carrasco and in Wood's L11 starts vs. ERA > 3.50 w/ a line < -110 and they are 12-1 in his L13 vs. a SP with a WHIP ≥ 1.2 w/ a line < 130 (including 9 straight wins and a 5-0 record on the road). San Fran pulled out the W last night, even though they allowed 10 hits to their 4, but they only had 2 runners LOB all game, that has only happened in a W 7 times this season, and the team that recorded ≤ 2 LOB was 5-2 in the game to follow, they are also 8-1 this season after committing more then 1 error in a W and the team is 10-1 in L11 vs. RHP w/ ERA > 5.00 when the line is > -185.
