Hedge Question for the Board

Ok guys, I have quite the dilemma... but it's a good one.

I took a 4 Teamer today that is 3-0 going into the Yankee game tonight.

I had Under in the Chicago Game
I had Oakland against SF (its 16-0 right now, Im counting it)
I had Colorado to win
Tonight I have Yankees straight up

I risked 120 to win 968

So, do I either:
1 Leave it alone and cheer on the yanks
2 Hedge 400 or so on the Mets at +190
3 GAMBLE by taking 450 on the mets plus the run and a half and pray for a
yankee victory by 1/ This is double D winner

Please help me out here board. I just don't know what to do.

You probably know which one I am voting for, but respect your opinions

    I'd risk 200 on the Mets. I gotta come away with some sort of cash in my
    pocket. But I don't want to go to much on the Mets, cuz I'd hate to win
    a great parlay and have nothing to show for it.
    Yanks win, you win 768.
    Mets win , you win 260

    BTW, Mets always hit Johnson

    those are the games you liked
    you played it and have hit 3 so far
    root on the yankees to WIN!!
    you start thinking to much and then guess what happens
    YOU LOSE....
    thats just my opinion
    laying 120.00 to win over 900.00 is nice
    and i would tell you this if you needed the mets tonight
    not saying this because i like the yankees
    GOOD LUCK!!

    you never get hurt making $$ if the odds where shot I would let it ride
    but at +200 you can not lose,would go with Mavs here, GL

    remember hitting 4 team parlays is not easy
    and right now your 3/4 of the way there
    hitting a two teamer is not easy
    if it does not hurt your bankroll
    GO YANKEES and hope you nail it.
    and like i said it could be the mets you need tonight and i would still
    say go for it.

    one more thing i believe that when your HOT you send it in
    just like hitting the baseball when a few guys on a team start hitting the
    hole team hits
    example oakland a's today 16 runs over 20 hits
    well you just nailed 3 winners
    #4 on its way..
    good luck tonight in whatever you do

    Ok guys, thanks for the feedback, here is what I decided to do:

    I took the Mets + 1 & 1/2 for 400. This way Im guaranteed about 250
    profit. If the yanks win by 1, then im up 1500 on this deal.

    Remember, Up is Up, so no matter what, I'm in great shape.

    TY, Drive Thru
