The New York Mets<\/a> will look to complete a home sweep as they take on the Detroit Tigers<\/a> at Citi Field on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Nolan McLean<\/a> takes the mound for New York, and my Tigers vs. Mets predictions believe he’ll help the Mets dominate Detroit.<\/p>\n

Who will win Tigers vs Mets today: Mets moneyline (-160)<\/p>\n

Nolan McLean<\/a> has been one of the few bright spots for the New York Mets<\/a> this year, and if anything, his results haven\u2019t quite lived up to his performance.<\/p>\n

McLean is\u00a0averaging 11.3 strikeouts per nine innings, has a WHIP of 0.904, and has an xERA of 2.34<\/a>, putting him in the 94th percentile of eligible pitchers.<\/p>\n

The Mets have been able to shut down the Detroit Tigers<\/a> so far in this series, allowing just two runs in each of the first two games.<\/p>\n

McLean is a step up in competition from what the Tigers have faced so far in this series, and I see the 24-year-old leading the Mets to victory this afternoon.<\/p>\n

COVERS INTEL:<\/p>\n

The Tigers are pulling only 10.5% of sinkers<\/a> they put in the air off of right-handed pitchers, a pitch McLean throws 36% of the time.<\/p>\n

Tigers<\/a> vs Mets Over\/Under pick: Under 7.5 (-115)<\/p>\n

McLean hasn\u2019t allowed more than three runs in a game so far this season. Of his eight starts so far this season, only one has resulted in a total of more than eight runs.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s on brand for New York, which has hit the Under in eight of its last 10 overall.<\/p>\n

The Mets offense still isn\u2019t clicking with regularity even as the team starts to win more games.\u00a0Keider Montero<\/a>\u00a0doesn\u2019t give up easy runs, allowing just 1.8 walks per nine innings<\/a> on the season.<\/p>\n

Neither team is likely to string together long innings today, making the Under a strong play.<\/p>\n
