Diamondbacks vs Mets Prediction
I’m on the Diamondbacks here. I’m not the biggest fan of Ryne Nelson, but the thing is that I trust this Diamondbacks team at home, and I trust them a lot more against right-handed pitching than left-handed pitching. I think that the Diamondbacks can defend their home field doing so as well. The Mets have a fantastic record on paper, but I have my concerns backing them in this series, and I think that the Diamondbacks draw first blood here. Give me Arizona.
