Hunter Greene (CIN) Under 2.5 Earned Runs Allowed (-115)
Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
How about the New York Mets, huh? That’s who Hunter Greene has the pleasure of pitching against on Friday night. That’s the same offense that had to travel to Cincinnati overnight while playing a doubleheader against the Tigers on Thursday after scoring just 5 runs combined. The same New York Mets are hitting below .160 against right-handed pitching to start the year. A small sample size, but this team looks lost at the plate to start the year, and their 1-5 record reflects that.
Hunter Greene wasn’t as sharp as he’d like in his first start of the season. He lasted just 4 2/3 innings due to walking 4 batters and a pitch count of 100. He struck out 7 Nationals hitters and ended up surrendering just 2 earned runs.
