The best bets of the day begin with one of the best teams in the National League. This season, the New York Mets have a record of 85-50 and lead the NL East. After back-to-back losses to the Washington Nationals, they head to Pittsburgh to face the Pirates. On the mound tonight is the 10-3 Taijuan Walker, who looks to earn a win for the Mets.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are sending out one of their best pitchers as well. Mitch Keller, although 4-10 this season, has an ERA of 4.43 through 124 innings. The key here is that the Pirates have a .219 team batting average compared to the Mets’ .256. Take the Mets on the road at -235 over Pittsburgh.

The Washington Nationals will send out the 0-6 Paolo Espino to face the St. Louis Cardinals. Espino has an ERA of 4.22 this season, allowing 18 home runs in 96 innings.
