The New York Mets (65-60) took game one of their 3-game series with the Baltimore Orioles (73-53) on Monday evening 4-3. With the game tied in the 9th, Francisco Alvarez hit a walk-off home run off Seranthony Dominguez. David Peterson of the Mets went 7 innings, allowing just 3 runs on 6 hits while striking out 8. JD Martinez hit an early 2-run home run to break out of his 13-game streak of no homers. We were on the over in that game which fell just 2 runs short of the total and tonight has an even more favorable matchup for the over. Dean Kremer (5-9, 4.48) will go for the Orioles in this one.
