Betting on the New York Mets (odds)
Regular Season Record: 58-35
The Mets ended the first half of the season on top of the National League East division, and they will look to add to their slim lead over the rest of the division when they take on the Padres on the road in a series that begins this Friday at home. While the Mets have names to decide on their starter for this game, they are sixth in the majors with a 3.61 ERA and .294 BABIP for their starters. Pete Alonso and Starling Marte headline the run support system of the Mets after hitting .265 and .295 in the first half, respectively, while combining for 33 home runs and 119 RBIs. Marte’s status must be monitored too as he appears to be managing a lower-body injury.
Writer’s Prediction
The Mets win, 4-2.
