Mets at Diamondbacks picks and predictions
Prediction
Diamondbacks 6, Mets 3
The Diamondbacks (-125) have not lost consecutive home games since losing 2 straight July 8-9 to the Atlanta Braves. They have not lost a home series since losing 2 out of 3 to the Minnesota Twins June 25-27.
They are one of the hottest teams in baseball.
The Mets haven’t won consecutive road games since winning 2 in a row at the Colorado Rockies Aug. 7-8.
Expect the Diamondbacks to bounce back and even the series. While the -125 odds on the moneyline are fine, the plus odds on the run line are too good to pass up.
PASS.
The Diamondbacks’ last 7 wins and 8 of their last 10 have been by 2 or more runs.
Seven of the Mets’ last 10 losses have been by multiple runs.
BET DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (+165).
Six of the Diamondbacks’ last 8 games have had more than 8 runs. They have scored 7 or more in 5 of their last 8 games.
Four of the 5 meetings this season have had 9 or more total runs.
