Two of the best teams in the National League will square off as the New York Mets travel down the West Coast to take on the San Diego Padres.
Escobar hit a two-run triple with two outs in the ninth inning, giving him 6 RBI’s and the first Mets cycle since 2012 to boost the Mets to an 11-5 win Monday night against the Padres.
New York Mets
The Mets continue to be awfully impressive. If you are a fan of this team, it is hard not to like what you have seen from them.
It seems so simple, but this team just seems to play well more often than they play poorly. If they keep up that trend as the year goes by, they will continue to be a dangerous team.
Although New York is battling some key injuries with their two best arms, it is still very rare that they would be totally overmatched in a certain game. With the group of guys that they do have, it is very realistic to expect them to be in a majority of the games they are in even if they are not winning them all.
The way that New York is playing is not surprising to people in the game or themselves. They knew how could they could be and this level of play is what they expected from themselves in 2022.
When you watch them play, it is very clear they are a confident group and as they should be. There is no question they are one of the best teams in the sport and unless a lot of craziness unfolds, I do not see that one changing.
The Mets did not start off their last series with the Dodgers as they would have liked but they did win the final two games and earn the split. If someone were to tell them they went into LA and won half of their games, they would certainly take it.
San Diego Padres
When I think of teams that have had legitimate bounce-back seasons, the Padres are one that comes to the top of my mind.
This is a crew that has played very well and it does not appear to be smoke and mirrors. In fact, I think they will only get stronger as the season goes on and the chances of them winning the NL West seems increasingly more likely as the games go on.
Based on the roster that San Diego has, I do feel people expected them to be strong this season but of course, there was still the stench of last season. There was certainly reasonable doubt that they would be able to turn the page of a disastrous 2021 campaign.
The Friars have followed a simple formula this season but it has worked for them. The offense has played as advertised and they have gotten very solid production from the pitchers. When those are combined, it typically makes for good results.
Coming into this highly anticipated and important series with the Mets, the Pads hold a record of 33-21 and they trail the Dodgers by just two games. It looks like it will be those two teams competing for the division the whole season long and boy, that will be fun to see how it shakes out.
San Diego made a big statement in their last series, as they went on the road and took 3 of 4 from a tough Brewers team. They will once again have a chance to make a statement when they host this Mets club.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- The Mets are 19-11 ATS on the road
- The Mets O/U are 13-16-1 on the road
- The Padres are 8-16 ATS at home
- The Padres O/U are 7-16-1 at home
New York Mets vs. San Diego Padres MLB Prediction:
The Mets are the best team in the National League and that can be credited to their phenomenal record away from home. New York is 19-11 on the road after winning the series opener in dominating fashion.
San Diego is still a very good ball club but I think they’re just a notch below this New York team and will fall short again.
Give me the Mets on Wednesday.
