The series opener between the New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals was a great game that was won by the Mets. Brandon Nimmo was the hero for the Mets as he delivered a clutch hit that allowed the Mets to pick up a win.

Run Line: The Cardinals were not only moneyline favorites in this game, but they were favored on the run line as well. Taking the 1.5 runs and backing the Mets was the pick to make, and there was still some value at -165.

Money Line: St. Louis continues to be favored on the moneyline at home, but this team just can’t seem to win games. Taking the Mets at +145 on the moneyline was a great pick on Monday night.

Total: These two teams have been tough to figure out on offense, and the over/under line was set at 8.5 total runs. These two teams combined for just seven runs, as the under bet was clearly the right play.
