ATS Matchup Insight | CP Insider Gambling Preview

New York

This team is going to probably have a number of games like that over the course of the season as they are just not very good at the plate or on the mound. They have also been dealing with injuries too as Chris Young, their starting CF, and Bobby Parnell, their closer are on the shelf.

Parnell is out for the year forcing the Mets to install Jose Valverde at closer. That is not a very good idea.

Two starts into the season and the Mets have not been getting what they hoped for from Zach Wheeler.

It is nice to see that he is whiffing guys with more than a K/IP but he is giving up too many hits. With Matt Harvey on the shelf for the season they were hoping for a jump in performance this season but so far we haven’t seen it.

All of the starters have been getting knocked around which is a big part of the Mets’ problem.

Arizona

The Diamondbacks have the worst record in baseball right now. That might be a surprise to some but the worst ERA and the worst record often go hand in hand.

If you are looking for a silver lining it is that they are only 4-6 against teams that are not the Los Angeles Dodgers. In Australia and at home this weekend the Dodgers have beaten the D-Backs all 5 times they have played this season.

Even though they are just 1-8 at home this season welcoming the Mets could get them out of their funk.

With starters getting shelled left and right Arizona is hoping that Josh Collmenter can give them a little reprieve Monday night. He has 4 outings out of the bullpen this season with modest success and hasn’t started a game since 2012 because the team has had better options.

I am not a big fan of them going in this direction but at least he gets to face a lineup that is far from elite.

It is difficult to back a scuffling team like Arizona. Even though I think they can break their losing streak tonight the sharper play to me looks like the over. You have a struggling starter on the road against a converted reliever in a park where the ball is known to fly.

This one probably goes over by the 6th.

Total prediction: Over
Score prediction: Arizona 8 – New York 5
