New York Mets vs. Tampa Bay Rays

Quick read:

I'm taking the over 8.0 runs, because when two clubs that love to swing for the fences meet, the scoreboard usually ends up looking like a fireworks show.

The Mets have piled up 565 runs on 1,094 hits this season, while the Rays are sitting on 618 runs and a tidy 1,197 hits – both lineups are practically built for a slugging showdown, and their pitching staffs have been more generous than a buffet.

The only wrinkle is the price, which is a touch steep, but if you think the game will be a low‑scoring stroll, you’re probably betting on a rain‑check rather than a baseball game.
