NY Mets vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction 

Arizona comes into this game just 12-17 on the road this season and they are looking to snap a five game losing streak. New York has had a ton of issues over the last few weeks, but they have won the first two games in this series and have a little momentum. The Mets are going with Sean Manaea, who has been brilliant in his last three outings. Arizona is starting Blake Walston, who has been decent in limited action. The Diamondbacks should not be struggling to score with the offense that they have, but they have looked pretty rough at the plate and Manaea is on a roll. My NY Mets vs Arizona Diamondbacks prediction is for the Mets to win again.
