Oakland Athletics vs New York Mets Prediction: Mets are too good for the home team

Sunday's Major League Baseball action at Oakland Coliseum features a matchup between the New York Mets and the Oakland Athletics. Although the Mets have a slight advantage in this situation, we cannot help but anticipate a high-caliber performance from the Athletics.

The Oakland Athletics have scored at least four runs in four of their last five games, and they have scored at least 25 runs in their most recent three games. When the Athletics have scored four or more runs this season, they have a record of 2-6. Ramon Laureano and Jesus Aguilar have a combined 23 hits and eight runs batted in, while Esteury Ruiz leads the Athletics with 15 hits and seven runs batted in. JP Sears is going to pitch, and so far this season he has a record of 0-1 with a 5.59 earned run average and 9 strikeouts. The Athletics have a record of 22-47 in their previous 69 games overall and are 1-4 in their last 5 games played on Sunday.

The New York Mets have scored at least four runs in six of their previous nine games, including a total of 25 runs in their most recent three games. This season, the Mets have a record of 8-1 when scoring four runs or more. Pete Alonso has a team-high 15 hits and is tied for the team lead with 13 RBI. Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo have combined for 26 hits and 23 RBI for the Indians. The next pitcher is Jose Butto, who finished the previous season with a record of 0-0, a 15.75 ERA, and 5 strikeouts. The Mets have a record of 36-15 in the previous 51 games they've played in the third game of a series and a record of 5-2 in the last 7 games overall.

The Oakland Athletics have a lot of problems on both sides of the ball, and it doesn't matter if their offense performs well or not; they still can't win games. As a result, there is no question in our minds that we will be rooting for the New York Mets in this contest.
