Bettor Mark strongly endorses the New York Mets at -134 on the money line against Oakland, primarily backing starting pitcher David Peterson, who he called his 'horse' so far this early in the MLB season, highlighting Peterson's consistency and impressive performances. He believes this line offers excellent value, suggesting he'd comfortably bet it up to around -150. Due to Oakland's ability to put up runs at home (in Sacramento), Mark also sees alternate Mets' team totals as attractive—avoiding the full run line while still capitalizing on New York's offense. He noted this matchup is conducive to a higher-scoring environment overall.

Guy Boston recommended cautiously fading Toronto's bats today, specifically citing their historical struggles against left-handed pitching. Facing off against left-hander David Peterson—who looked sharp in his first start against Miami with 9 strikeouts across six innings and only two solo home runs allowed—Guy viewed Toronto as vulnerable. Although he acknowledged Toronto having more power than Miami, he highlighted their persistent issues hitting lefties which made Peterson a particularly tough matchup. As such, he saw merit in under propositions involving Toronto hitters, especially early in the matchup while facing Peterson.

JD Bets highlighted David Peterson as quietly effective last season, putting up an impressive 10-3 record with a 2.90 ERA despite flying under the national radar. He specifically noted Miami's poor historical performance against left-handed pitching, further supporting Peterson in this matchup. JD pointed to Peterson's low earned runs average of 1.8 per game last season as highly reliable, implying Peterson should have a solid outing and mentioning he would likely place the Mets' money line as part of his betting card because of Peterson's consistency.

Scott Reichel expects a strong rebound game from the Mets, laying the -1.5 run line against the Marlins. He emphasizes the Mets just faced a difficult series against Houston where they came up short narrowly, leaving them motivated or 'pissed off.' Reichel downplays Miami's early success, asserting their wins came against a weak Pirates team, thus inflating their current standing. Scott specifically prefers Mets starter David Peterson over Marlins starter Cal Quantrill, who struggled notably last year in Colorado. Betting especially against Miami's unreliable bullpen, Scott feels confident the Mets win decisively here.

Eric Lindquist pointed toward a favorable pitching matchup for the Mets, specifically lauding lefty David Peterson for his solid skill set. Conversely, he emphasized fading Cal Quantrill, recalling repeatedly targeting him in past Cleveland starts. Lindquist indicated a distinct talent gap here, hinting Peterson has league-average or better potential, whereas Quantrill represents vulnerability. While not directly locking in a bet, Lindquist's analysis strongly suggests considering Mets-focused bets, particularly as pitching matchups become critical early in the season.

Bettor Mark recommended betting the Mets -1.5 runs on the run line against the Marlins, noting Miami has been lucky and playing above their true ability early this season. He praised David Peterson as one of the Mets' best pitchers from 2024, predicting a strong performance shutting down Miami's hot start. With the Mets off to an extremely poor hitting start (.136 team average), he expects a meaningful offensive breakout behind Peterson, confidently taking Mets -1.5 at minus 105 odds as one of his best bets of the day.
