The New York Mets will travel across the country for a National League weekend battle with the Arizona Diamondbacks from Chase Field.
These teams met last weekend in New York with the Mets grabbing the series, winning 2 of 3 games.
New York Mets
The Mets continue to dazzle and find themselves atop the NL East. They have yet to drop a series and won three of four against the Giants this week. The pitching has been their greatest strength after limiting SF to only 12 runs in the four-game series.
New York is scoring an average of 4.69 runs on the year, landing them seventh in the big leagues. They have posted a stellar 2.56 team ERA, good for fourth overall.
Pete Alonso continues to shine at the dish, accumulating 10 RBIs in his last eight games, and is among the MLB leaders with 14 RBIs on the season. He went 1 for 9 with 4 RBIs against the Diamondbacks last weekend.
Arizona Diamondbacks
It’s been an abysmal string of games for Arizona. They have been in a big slump at the plate, ranking near the bottom in most offensive categories including an abysmal .169 team batting average. Wednesday’s victory was a welcome sight where they slashed a three-game slide.
The Diamondbacks’ struggling offense is averaging 2.85 runs on the season, placing them 27th in the Majors. The pitching staff enters with a 3.32 team ERA, tabbing them 13th overall.
The D-Backs are going to need more from Kete Marte if they want to be competitive. The 28-year-old slugger is a threat but is slumping, posting a .200 average with three RBIs and a .563 OPS. Marte went a solid 5 for 12 against the Mets last year and 4 for 12 with one RBI against NY last week.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- Mets are 6-1 ATS on the road
- Mets O/U are 2-5 on the road
- D’backs are 3-3 ATS at home
- D’backs O/U are 1-5 at home
New York Mets vs. Arizona Diamondbacks MLB Prediction:
The Diamondbacks have Zac Gallen on the hill and the right-hander gives them a good chance to win. He pitched against the Mets in his only start of the season last week and was sharp, tossing four shutout innings. He was on a pitch count and should go deeper into the game.
Furthermore, the Diamondbacks broke out of their offensive slump in Wednesday’s victory and have won two in a row. I expect the bats to make noise against Mets’ starter David Peterson who recorded a poor 5.54 ERA last season. While Peterson has been effective this year, he has only lasted four innings in each start.
Take Arizona to grab a win at home in the series opener.
