With the latest updates from major sportsbooks, including DraftKings, FanDuel, Bet365NewJersey, and WilliamHillNewJersey, there's a wealth of data to dissect for fans and bettors alike.
The moneyline has seen slight fluctuations leading up to the game. Initially, the Mariners were favored at -135 by DraftKings but saw their odds slightly improve to -130, indicating a tightening race. Conversely, the Mets' odds have shifted from +114 to +110, suggesting growing confidence in their potential to upset. This trend is consistent across multiple books, with FanDuel and Bet365NewJersey reflecting similar movements.
In terms of total runs expected, the consensus leans towards a lower-scoring affair with the total set at 7 runs across several sportsbooks. This is a slight decrease from an opening total of 7.5 at FanDuel, where the odds for over have moved to +100 from -110, and under now sits at -122 from an initial -110. This adjustment hints at bettors anticipating tighter pitching and defense from both teams.

At FanDuel and WilliamHillNewJersey alike, odds for the Mets on this line have remained steady, demonstrating overwhelming confidence (96 percent according to consensus bet percentages) in their ability to keep the game close or win outright.
Moreover, this betting enthusiasm for the Mets could be attributed to several factors including recent team performances, player matchups against Mariners' pitchers, or strategic adjustments made by the coaching staff.
