After a streak of three multi-hit games, Francisco Lindor has gone cold for the Mets. Playing the team with the worst ERA in baseball, he should use this opportunity to heat back up. Bettors should expect a big series from Lindor.

While Walker is a stud, Greene has been less than exemplary for the Reds. He's making his 16th start tonight with an ERA pushing six. Looking at the matchup today, Mets hitters are sure to be licking their chops. Bettors can expect runs early and often in this one.
