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.
Starling Marte legged out a go-ahead RBI infield single in the 10th inning and the Mets held on to win 6-5 on Friday.
Arizona recorded a season-high 11 hits, Humberto Castellanos pitched five solid innings and the Diamondbacks cooled off the New York Mets by beating them 5-2 on Saturday night.
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:

New York Mets vs. Arizona Diamondbacks MLB Prediction:
The Mets seem primed to bounce back from Saturday’s loss and relying on balance is a big reason why.
New York ranks near the top of baseball on offense and while they might take a slight step back on Sunday, they still have plenty in the tank to get enough done to grab the win.
For the Diamondbacks, the lack of success on the offensive end will be the difference in this one. Without much experience to learn from, Arizona’s offense remains a work in progress and that’ll show on Sunday afternoon.
Take the Mets to grab the series with a win on Sunday behind Megill.
