LAS VEGAS — It would be an exaggeration to call it the “Shot Heard ‘Round the Betting World,” but Dominic Smith’s three-run homer in the Mets’ season finale put an exclamation point on the most dramatic win-total decision in memory.
The Westgate SuperBook closed the Mets’ win total at 85½, and oddsmakers could not have nailed that number any better. The Mets, sitting at 85-76, trailed the Atlanta Braves 6-4 in the 11th inning Sunday, when first baseman Pete Alonso was pulled from the game to allow a last ovation from Citi Field fans.
