Mets vs Guardians Prediction
The Mets should like their chances at home with Peterson on the mound, but it’s hard to back them with the way they’re playing. The Mets really suck when they get in these funks, and they burn a hole in bettors pockets. Not me! The Guardians have caught fire lately, and Williams has allowed 25 hits and 10 runs in his last 35.2 innings. We’re getting plus money to fade the Mets. I’ll take it.
