Pickswise was nice enough to give me the opportunity to write up my plays for you all. For those of you who don’t know me, they refer to me as JutPicks on Twitter. I post all my plays with brief write-ups every day. Now I get to write even more with no character limit!

I pride myself on being as transparent as they come. My MLB record from last season and this season is listed in my bio. On the year, I’ve recorded 246 wins and 154 losses for a gain of +40.06 units. Without further ado, let’s dive into my favorite play for Sunday.

Lock in our MLB picks for each of today’s 15 games

Charlie Morton (ATL) over 1.5 earned runs (-130)

Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.

Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves will look to increase their NL East division lead by 2 games with 4 games left against the New York Mets and Chris Bassitt.

Morton has faced off against this Mets squad 3 times this season. In the first two meetings, Morton allowed 12 hits and 9 earned runs. In the third matchup in August, Morton pitched a gem. He pitched 6.2 innings with 0 runs allowed. Since that start, Morton has allowed at least 2 earned runs in 5 of 7 starts including 4 starts or at least 4 earned runs.

In the last 30 days in September, the Mets faced off against eight right-handed starters. Seven of the eight starters allowed at least 2 runs including CY Young candidates Kyle Wright and Corbin Burnes.

In a must-win game, I expect one of the best offenses in the majors to show out on primetime.
