Mets vs Diamondbacks Prediction

The Mets won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, but the Diamondbacks were better in three of the last five. Eight of those ten H2Hs went Over, while that was the case in seven of Arizona’s previous ten games this season. Both teams are batting well against southpaws, and considering we have a pitching matchup between Rodriguez and Peterson, I expect to see a high-scoring affair. Peterson allowed a .341 BA in 41 at-bats against the D-backs. Arizona could be up after the opening five or six innings, but don’t forget that the Mets have the best bullpen in baseball at the moment. Still, I am going with Over for the argument stated above.
