NY Mets vs Oakland Athletics Prediction
The Oakland Athletics continue to win just enough in the underdog role to be attractive to bettors, and the Mets aren’t playing well this week. You can make a strong case for the Athletics and more favorable price. With that said, Mitch Spence is hittable, and the Mets simply can’t allow games like this to slip away if they’re going to reach the postseason. Also, it’s only a matter of time before the Mets find their bats again. I’ll lay the juice with the Mets in a bounce back game.
