Mets vs Diamondbacks Prediction
The Mets should be favored at home with Peralta on the mound, who has had career success against the Diamondbacks. The Mets have played the better ball out of the gate. However, gallons plus money is hard to turn down. You’re talking about a one-time all-star and somebody who has finished in the top 10 in CY Young people voting three times. He was up and down last season; I get it. However, Gallen is still a quality arm when right. The value is with the Diamondbacks and the more favorable price with their ace on the bump.
