The wheels have come off in Queens.

The Mets had a remarkably hot start, causing everyone to believe that they were a World Series-caliber squad.

Not to beat a dead horse, but the Mets have fallen off a cliff since they boasted a 45-24 record on June 12, and followed that up with a 35-52 record since then.

There is no probable pitcher listed for the Mets, while the Cubs are set to deploy Matthew Boyd for Wednesday night’s tilt.

There has been speculation that rookie Jonah Tong would take the hill for New York on Wednesday, although there has been no confirmation.

Regardless, let’s examine how the Mets have performed against Boyd in their careers.

Francisco Lindor vs. Boyd: .361 AVG, 2 HRs (13 hits in 36 at bats),

Starling Marte vs Boyd: .222 AVG, 0 HRs (2 hits in 9 at bats).

Juan Soto vs. Boyd: .200 AVG, 1 HR, (1 hit in 5 at bats).

Pete Alonso vs. Boyd: 0-3

Mark Vientos vs. Boyd: .333 AVG, 1 HR (1 hit in 3 at bats).

Brandon Nimmo vs. Boyd: 1-2

The Mets are a mess, and while we might not know who will start for the Mets until the wee hours of Tuesday, we still have a clear path to betting value on Lindor.

Lindor should be the leader of the Mets again, as he was last season. However, the signing of Soto may have complicated that reality somewhat.

Still, with their backs not just up against the wall but caving in on their season, Lindor is the one to count on in the big moments.

Target Lindor’s over 1.5 total bases prop on Wednesday, and you could certainly do worse than laying some money on his home run prop at +300 or better.
