Mets vs Diamondbacks Prediction

The Mets have been on fire offensively this week and the bats have a chance to stay hot after an extra innings game last night. Nelson and Peterson have both struggled out of the gate, as Nelson has a 5.79 ERA through 9.1 innings, while Peterson has a 1.97 WHIP through 9.2 innings. Two struggling pitchers, two capable lineups, a low total—I’ll take a stab at the over in this spot.
