New York fired both hitting coaches on Monday night, but it might take a while to get the batters back on track. The Mets are averaging only 3.37 runs per game this season while batting .238. St. Louis hitters aren't going much better, batting .226 overall and .217 vs. right-handers. Marcus Stroman has a 1.86 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with a .204 opponent batting average. Stroman has allowed only two earned runs in 19 innings on the road. Kwang Hyun Kim has allowed just five runs in three starts for St. Louis, covering 13 2/3 innings. The UNDER is 12-5-1 in the Mets' past 18 road games vs. left-handed starters and the Cardinals are 6-1-1 UNDER against teams with losing records. Play the UNDER.
