New York Mets - Mets should do better here
This week, the New York Mets were unable to come out on top against the Kansas City Royals, losing both games against them by scores of 4-0 and 7-6. In the game on Wednesday, Jeff McNeil had a 3-for-5 line but was unable to cash in on any of his opportunities. During the final game, which took place on Thursday, New York allowed three runs to score in each of the seventh and eighth innings, resulting in a 9-2 loss. In spite of the loss, Francisco Lindor hit a home run, scoring two runs, and Pete Alonso finished the game with two hits and four RBI. David Peterson will take the mound for the Mets in their game on Saturday as the team's starting pitcher. Peterson now has a record of 3-7 in 17 games (11 starts), with a 5.92 ERA, 68 strikeouts, and 62.1 innings pitched. Peterson has gone 1-1 in his previous seven games, making one start, and has a 3.38 ERA with 15 strikeouts in 13.1 innings pitched.
Expert Betting Tips
I'm going to venture a guess and go with the New York Mets in this game. Even though Peterson isn't pitching very deep into games these days, he's doing very well for himself while he's on the mound. In Peterson's combined five innings of work across his most recent three starts, he has allowed no earned runs, no walks, and five hits. Peterson should do a good job of setting the Mets up for success during the opening couple of innings, but he will need some assistance from the bullpen. In the series finale on Thursday, New York's offense once again struggled, producing only five hits as a club (with Alonso accounting for two of those hits). The New York Mets have scored a total of two runs in their previous two games, and that will likely need to alter in order for them to be successful in their opening. If New York can get their bats going again, they have a chance to stay in the game.
