New York Mets vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction: A crucial finale for both clubs

On Thursday, MLB action will take place at Citi Field, featuring a matchup between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the New York Mets. The fourth and last game in a set will take place right now. The first two games of this series were split between the two teams, but on Wednesday, the New York Mets came out on top with a six-run victory.

During their triumph on Tuesday, the New York Mets collected 13 hits as a team. Pete Alonso, Ronny Mauricio, and Francisco Alvarez all hit home runs; however, Francisco Alvarez's was the only one that drove in runs. Alonso was responsible for three runs batted in and two singles for the New York Mets in their game on Wednesday. Additionally, Mark Vientos hit a home run that drove in two runs. On Thursday, Kodai Senga will take the mound for the Mets as the team's starting pitcher. This year, Senga has pitched 149.1 innings, has a winning record of 10-7, and has an earned run average of 3.07. He has struck out 181 batters. In his previous seven starts, Senga has a record of 3-2 and a 2.84 earned run average. After a victory, the New York Mets have failed to defend their home field in six of their last seven games against teams from the National League West in which they were favored to win. In 10 of their last 11 games against National League opponents with winning records, the New York Mets have covered the run line.

Corbin Carroll contributed three hits, two runs, and a solo home run to the Arizona Diamondbacks' 4-3 victory in the first game of this set. The Arizona Diamondbacks were unsuccessful in game two, which resulted in a 7-4 loss. During their game against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, the Arizona Diamondbacks were scoreless until the eighth inning. The lone run batted in was contributed by Tommy Pham. Merrill Kelly will take the mound for the Arizona Diamondbacks in the final game of the season, which is scheduled to take place on Thursday. Kelly has compiled a record of 11-6 through the first 26 appearances of this year while striking out 165 batters in 154.0 innings pitched. His ERA is 3.16. Over his previous seven starts, Kelly has a record of 2-1 with a 3.00 earned run average. After suffering a defeat on the road, the Arizona Diamondbacks have been victorious in each of their previous three games against teams from the National League East, despite being given the odds of an underdog. In addition, after suffering a defeat, the Arizona Diamondbacks have covered the run line in seven of their last eight games as underdogs against teams from the National League East.

I'm going to continue supporting the Mets. In spite of the fact that he is winless in his last three starts, Senga is performing quite admirably. Within those three innings, Senga has accumulated a total of five earned runs, thirteen hits, and nine walks. As for Kelly, he has a record of 1-0 over his last two starts and has allowed only two earned runs in 12.2 innings. However, Kelly finished the month of August with a less than stellar performance against the Los Angeles Dodgers (5.0 innings, seven earned runs). If both of these players are on, this should turn out to be a fairly solid starter matchup for us. Joey Lucchesi gave the New York Mets a solid start in their game on Wednesday by pitching seven innings without allowing a run, collecting five hits, and walking three batters. The offense also performed fairly well. My money is on the New York Mets to keep their momentum going in the last game and come out on top.
