Padres vs. Mets, 7:07PM ET

Games 1 and 2 were a case of night and day for the Padres and Mets who have taken turns in landing body blows throughout this Wild Card series, but only one can advance after tonight. 

With a win on Friday night, San Diego tried to sneak one by New York by putting in Blake Snell for the start last night and it cost them as the ace walked 6 batters and gave up 2 runs in a game that the Mets would eventually take out 7-3. The Padres now have to break the glass in case of emergency and unleash Joe Musgrove. The Friars have won 6 of their last 9 games where Musgrove has started, but his record against the Mets is dire with a career 1-5 record to go along with a 5.83 ERA. In his only meeting against them this year on July 24, he gave up 4 runs in a 8-5 loss.

Stepping to the mound for New York will be Chris Bassitt - a lethal pitcher with a 15-9 record this season. Bassitt has been relatively leaky recently, giving up an average of 2.5 runs per start across his last 8 appearances.

Game 3s are typically tense, but we're attacking the low total considering the recent run of form of both starting pitchers.

BET: Total runs OVER 6.5 (-115). with DraftKings Sportsbook. Click ➡️ here ⬅️ to place your bet.

Best MLB Prop Today

The Polar Bear Pete Alonso split the game open last night with a home run to send the home crowd into raptures and he could be well positioned to further his reputation as one of the best Mets ever with another big performance tonight. Alonso has faced off against starting pitcher Musgrove in three previous games, batting at a .375 avg from 8 ABs, including one home run. A big game needs a big time performance, and Alonso can deliver.

BET: Pete Alonso 1+ HR (+400). Want to tail this pick? Do it with DraftKings Sportsbook and get a nice bonus while doing so by clicking ➡️ here ⬅️.
