The Mets are on a 10-4 run, taking advantage of September when rosters expand and lineups change daily. Many teams are resting star players and taking a look at the kids. Boston starter Chris Sale is on a pitch count as he makes his second start since returning from a shoulder issue. Sale tossed 26 pitches in one inning on Tuesday in his first outing in nearly a month. The Red Sox are being careful with his workload, and he won't pitch long in this one either. New York goes with ace Jacob deGrom (1.71 ERA), honing in on the National League Cy Young Award. So the best pitcher in baseball is a big dog. The Mets are 13-3 following a loss and have won five of their last seven road games. That included the opener of this series, 8-0 as a dog, as well as wins at the Dodgers (7-3, 4-2) as dogs of +135 and +170. Play the New York Mets.
