Arizona Diamondbacks vs New York Mets Prediction: Diamondbacks will not accept a sweep

MLB action takes place at Chase Field on Thursday between the New York Mets and the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have won their previous three games by a combined score of 10 runs, and they have won games with four or more runs scored in eight of their last 12 games. Eight of the Arizona Diamondbacks' most recent 12 games have been won when the team has scored four or more runs. Ketel Marte leads the Diamondbacks with 87 hits and 44 runs batted in, while Corbin Carroll and Christian Walker have a combined 169 hits and 102 runs batted in for the team. Thursday's starting pitcher, Tommy Henry, has a record of 5-1 with a 4.08 earned run average and 49 strikeouts so far this season. Henry will face the Mets for the very first time in his professional career. The Arizona Diamondbacks have a record of 11-5 over their last 16 games played on Thursday and a record of 1-4 over their last 5 games played at home. In the Arizona Diamondbacks' previous six games, the total has gone under by a score of 5-1.

The New York Mets have scored at least four runs in five of their previous seven games, including a total of 20 runs in their most recent three games. When scoring four or more runs in a game, the Mets have won five of their last seven contests. Jeff McNeil and Starling Marte have combined for 151 hits and 52 RBI for the Mets, while Brandon Nimmo leads the team with 90 hits and 41 RBI. Kodai Senga is scheduled to pitch, and he has a record of 6-5 with a 3.53 earned run average and 101 strikeouts so far this season. The New York Mets have a record of 9-19 in their last 28 games overall and a record of 5-2 in their last 7 games played during game 2 of a series. In the Mets' previous seven games, they have an under record of 4-1-2.

The New York Mets are having one of their better weeks of the season, but you'll have to pardon me if I'm still not excited to back them as the favorite, especially when they're playing away from Citi Field. The Arizona Diamondbacks continue to be one of the most profitable teams in the sport; therefore, it is desirable to have them play the part of the underdog at home. A victory for the Diamondbacks in the finale, despite the fact that they are the underdogs, appears to be possible given the relatively level pitching battle.
