Athletics vs Mets Prediction
Both teams are tied 4-4 in their last 8 meetings and the Athletics are 3-1 in their last 4 visits in New York.
In this Athletics vs Mets Prediction, the Mets are coming as -160 home favorites. Both teams are on opposite trajectories lately, as the Mets have three consecutive losses, having scored just 3 total runs in that span, while on the other hand, the A’s have three consecutive wins and back-to-back shutouts against the Yankees and the Mets. I don’t trust Jacob Lopez for the A’s and Senga has been better for the Mets, who also have a better bullpen and are better against left-handed pitching, so I like them in a bounce-back spot today. Take the Mets on the moneyline.
