MTH averages only 288 option contracts/day, so quotes are thin and bid/ask spreads run wide. Use the last actually-traded price below to set a limit order rather than chasing the displayed ask. Most tradeable call: the $75.00 08-21 call last traded $4.00 on 07/14 (now $1.30/$4.20) — try a limit near $2.75. Most tradeable put: the $70.00 08-21 put last traded $2.37 on 07/14 (now $2.40/$4.10) — try a limit near $2.40.
