At the beginning with the Mets and gamblers, everything goes back to the 2023 season. Specifically, that was when no team produced a hotter baseball betting odds ticket than the New York Mets. The Mets blew apart their budget to overtake the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees for the highest payroll in the game. Finally, in the 2025 season, the Mets are making up for lost time. What’s problematic is that gamblers are again drawn to New York. This has caused New York’s prices to increase and value to decrease. Also, the Mets have begun to cool off after a hot start.
