The Edge

McLean's superior ERA and Bradford's winless record tilt a near-even line slightly toward the Mets, but the hitter-friendly park and Rangers' hot home form keep this a LEAN rather than a PICK.

Key Factors

Starting pitcher ERA gap: McLean 3.18 vs Bradford 4.19 — nearly a full run edge to NYM, approaching the 1.5 significance threshold
Bradford winless (0-5) despite 4.19 ERA — his team has failed to back him
Mets took the opener of this series 6-3 at Globe Life Field on Sep 22
Mets road ATS as underdog 41-33 (.554) — performs well in the dog role
