Vegas Play of the Day: St. Louis Cardinals at New York Mets

Mon, May 18, 2015 (11 a.m.)

Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.

New York Mets minus-128 vs. St. Louis Cardinals: $384 to win $300

The Cardinals have the best record in the National League, but I’ve done OK this baseball season backing pitchers in spots that I like and even against St. Louis, I like New York’s Matt Harvey tonight.

Harvey has been great this season, so I’m not exactly going out on a limb, and combined with the Mets coming off two home wins — they’re 15-4 at home this season — I think New York’s ace is in a good position to keep the momentum rolling.

Standings: Bern (78-69-1, $11,250), Keefer (80-78-2, $10,197), Brewer (69-83-3, $1,725)
