New York Mets (62-59) vs Baltimore Orioles (72-50)

We have two lefties on the mound in this one and two lefties that own xERAs in the 5.00s. The difference for me is A. Rodgers actually has strong numbers in his career vs. the current Mets lineup with a rather low xBA and xSLG. B. the Orioles are hitting lefties much better in the last 30 days than NYM, as BAL is top-10 in wRC+ while NYM ranks 22nd. The O's can compete with the NYM in the bullpen and I think giving the O's plus money in this spot is too good to pass up. Add to the fact that the main problem that Peterson has had in his career is the walks and the O's rank in the top half of the league in BB% in the last month vs. LHP and I will take the O's ML here.
