The New York Mets will look to close out a three-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers this afternoon at Citi Field after taking the first two by scores of 10-2 and 3-2 in extra innings. New York sends rookie sensation Nolan McLean to the mound carrying a 2.78 ERA, a 0.90 WHIP, and 57 strikeouts in 45.1 innings, good for one of the best early-season starts by any arm in Major League Baseball. Detroit counters with Keider Montero, who is enjoying the best stretch of his young career thus far with a 3.18 ERA and 0.96 WHIP – but he’ll need to do some heavy lifting as Detroit has dropped 7 of its last 8 games and watched its lineup go ice cold. First pitch is at 1:10 PM ET.

Riley Greene Over 0.5 Hits (-165): Greene has been on a tear during the month of May. He’s slashing .325/.419/.487 on the season and has recorded at least one hit in 10 of 11 games this month, carrying an eight-game hitting streak into this afternoon’s series finale. He collected three hits just last night in Detroit’s 3-2 loss in extras, continuing what’s been one of the hottest stretches by any hitter in the American League. Greene is 0-2 against McLean in limited action, but has drawn a walk against the Rookie of the Year favorite. At -165, this prop is a little on the pricier side, but it’s warranted given how automatic Greene has been at the plate over the last two weeks.
