Mets vs Angels Prediction 

New York was fortunate to get a big comeback win on Monday night to open this series, as they continue to try and overtake the Phillies in the NL East. The Mets are 35-16 at home this year, while the Angels are 25-28 on the road. Los Angeles has been playing in higher scoring games recently, as they have gone over 9.5 runs in four straight. The Angels are starting Hendricks, who has allowed seven earned runs and 10 hits in his last 9.0 innings. The Mets are starting Montas, who has allowed 1, 4, 6, and 0 earned runs in his last four outings. I don’t love the pitching matchup in this game and I think LA will be involved in another high scoring affair. Take the over here.
