MLB Odds Cardinals at Mets - Wellemeyer vs Redding

The New York Mets (34-33) will be glad to get a break from Interleague play as they host the St. Louis Cardinals (39-31) in MLB odds on Monday at 7:10pm EST on ESPN2. The Mets have lost seven of their last 12 games against the American League in MLB odds but they may not have a much easier time in this series against St. Louis. The Cardinals are coming off a great series in which they destroyed the Kansas City Royals over the weekend. The Mets are just a game over .500 this season in MLB odds and continue to be up and down.

One player that is having a good season is third baseman David Wright who leads the National League in hitting. Surprisingly, Wright is not hitting for power though and he has not been consistent. He had a 10-game hitting streak followed by a poor streak, then a 13-game hitting streak and then a terrible streak. MLB odds have the Mets -110 at home against the Cardinals -110 in baseball betting odds with a total of 9.5 UNDER -115. "If it's a flip of the coin, you really don't want it that way. You want consistency, but at the same time, we're talking about a guy that's leading the league in hitting," manager Jerry Manuel said.

"Now I guess the question becomes, where does that fit into winning? How does that fit in? Is that good?" There could be some runs scored on Monday considering Todd Wellemeyer is up against Tim Redding. Wellemeyer is 6-5 on the season with a 5.36 ERA while Redding is 0-2 with a 6.27 ERA. Last year Redding gave up six runs in 5 2/3 innings against the Cardinals. He has not beaten St. Louis since 2004. Vegas MLB odds at Caesars sportsbook have the Mets -110 favorites in baseball betting against the Cardinals -105 with a betting total of 9.5.
