Mets/Dodgers over 7.5 (-115), 1*
Buehler under 3.5 strikeouts (+115), 1*
Buehler has not been impressive since coming back from Tommy John. He just doesn’t have the same life on his fastball or crispness with his offspeed stuff. I believe he had zero strikeouts in five innings against the Padres his last time out. If you prefer to bet 4.5 and pay the juice, that’s up to you. I’m going to take a shot with 3.5 at plus money. I trust Severino more then Buehler, but Severino can certainly have a bad inning or just get knocked around by the Dodgers lineup. I thought this total would be 8 or 8.5. At 7.5, this is a bet I have to make. GL
