Reds (68-74) vs. Mets (77-64)
Even with an unimpressive season, the Reds really turned it on in their most recent games, showing remarkable fight in recovering seemingly lost causes and doing rather well in away games. They have performed well in their last five games, beating the strong Houston Astros and taking a close match against these same New York Mets. They managed to clinch tight wins, such as the 1-0 thriller against Houston, and showcased their offensive capabilities in a 12-5 rout, also against Houston. These performances suggest a team finding its rhythm at a crucial season juncture.

On the contrary, the Mets have been immaculate, winning each of their last five games. The wins of the Mets took a recent turn as they claimed impressive victories, such as against the Boston Red Sox and a close defensive game against the Chicago White Sox. The winning streak has improved their positions and confidence, which should help them make a strong push in the playoffs.

Jakob Junis (4-0, 3.13 ERA) vs. Jose Quintana (7-9, 4.27 ERA)
The Reds will count on Jakob Junis, who has a perfect 4-0 record with an excellent 3.13 era in the ballpark. Looking at his stats, there’s a high WHIP ratio of 0.98 and quite low walk count leading to a close game, this could be important in limiting the Mets bats. Has shown poise in challenges and such will be key going through the Mets‘ order.
In contrast, Jose Quintana for the Mets has a 7-9 season record with a 4.27 era but is battle hardened and knows how to get batters out by way of strikes. His concern will be getting past the Reds batters who appear to have caught the big-hitting bug. The way Quintana performs is quite likely to set the tempo and the result of the match whose opening day I believe is going to be very hot.
MLB Odds/Point Spread: Mets -1.5 (+139), Total Odds: 9
The Mets are favorites, and with a -1.5 spread at +139, the game’s total set at 9 offers intriguing insights for bettors, balancing recent high scores against strong starting pitching performances.
Reds Betting Trends
The Reds have been surprising against the spread, particularly on the road where they have a favorable record of 39-28. Their ability to cover as underdogs could be a tempting prospect for bettors, especially with recent overachievements in tight games.
Mets Betting Trends
The Mets, on the other hand, are consistent in covering spreads, standing at 37-32 in their road games and showing robust form at home. Their winning streak and ability to outperform the odds make them a formidable pick for those betting on a strong home performance.
Reds vs. Mets 9/7/24 Betting Picks
To the current trends and previous performances, it seems that the Mets will have the upper hand because of the good form and playing on the home ground advantage. However, the Reds’ last away games and possible pitching scenarios indicate that Mets odds may be wider than the match. This matchup could very well be clinched in the closing minutes and hence the Reds spread could prove to be a good bet.
Considering daily baseball free tips, both sides are currently more oriented on scoring and Over 9 may appear as reasonable bet. However, if good pitchers are in the game, then a closer and by substance, not a by score game might occur, thus making it hard for oddsmakers with regards to the total line.
