Pick the Rangers moneyline today (Imagn)

#1) New York Mets (Bold Prediction of the day): +102

The Mets are today's bold selection (Imagn)

The New York Mets have a very difficult matchup today with the surging, red-hot Arizona Diamondbacks.

However, they're a solid team who have won plenty of big games this year, so they're the bold pick for today.
