Premium Pick

New York faces an elimination game and will start David Peterson, who in 22 regular appearances had a 2.90 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP with 101 strikeouts. However, he has been used only in a relief role in the postseason even though the Mets' starters haven't been doing the job for the most part. New York is 6-1 in Peterson's past seven starts against a team that allowed two or fewer runs its previous game and the Mets are 6-1 his past seven starts when they scored two or fewer runs their previous game. The Mets will get a second chance against Jack Flaherty, who threw seven scoreless innings on Sunday. Look for Peterson to go deep into the game as he wasn't used yesterday and for a lower-scoring game with manager Carlos Mendoza finally using him as a starter. Take the Mets and the UNDER.
