The New York Mets and the Los Angeles Angels meet in MLB action from Angel Stadium on Friday night.
The New York Mets will look to bounce back from a 13-2 loss to the San Diego Padres to close out their series last time out. Francisco Lindor has 56 hits along with 9 home runs, 45 RBIs and a .250 batting average while Pete Alonso also has 61 hits, 16 home runs and 54 RBIs. Starling Marte has 33 RBIs as well while Eduardo Escobar has 15 doubles as well as 3 triples and Brandon Nimmo has also chipped in 4 triples as well this season. Jeff McNeil has 61 hits, 14 doubles, a triple and a .314 batting average as well on the year. Tylor Megill will start here and is 4-2 with a 4.41 ERA and 37 strikeouts this season.
The Los Angeles Angels will look to pick up some momentum after finally snapping their lengthy losing streak with a win in their last game. Mike Trout has 52 hits, 14 doubles and 14 home runs while Jared Walsh has 33 RBIs and Brandon Marsh has 27 RBIs. Shohei Ohtani has 55 hits while adding 11 doubles, 12 home runs and a team-high 34 RBIs. Taylor Ward also has a .333 batting average as well this season. The Angels did not have a starting pitcher announced at the time that this article was posted.
New York is 9-4 in their last 13 games overall and 3-6 in their last 9 road games while the over is 11-5 in their last 16 games overall. Los Angeles is 1-5 in their last 6 games overall and 1-5 in their last 6 home games.
I get the case to be made for either side here, but Tylor Megill is coming back from his stint on the IL and didn’t look good before he went on the shelf. On the flipside, the Angels haven’t announced a starter, but the Mets are swinging some of the hottest bats in the league right now and I think all in all, we just have a high-scoring affair here. Give me the over.
