Tigers vs Mets Prediction
The Mets had no issue with the offense on Tuesday, but it’s going to be a much different story in this game. Even though Mize struggled in his last start, he has done a good job of bouncing back in similar situations. Clay Homles sits with an ERA of 3.60, and he’s going to dominate this start. Both teams are going to struggle to get to even two runs here, and this game is going to end up staying under the total.
