Mets vs Diamondbacks Prediction
New York continues to play very well this season, and they have scored 34 runs in their last three games. The Mets are 13-1 at home this year, while the Diamondbacks are 7-6 on the road. Arizona has really struggled over the last week, and their pitching staff continues to be a huge problem, which was the same issue they had last season. Arizona is starting Burnes, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in two straight starts. The Mets haven’t named a starting pitcher for this one yet, but we know their offense is red hot right now. I do like how Burnes has pitched in his last two outings, and I will take Arizona to win, but their bullpen is a problem.
