New York at Arizona

Looking at this Mets’ offense, there’s nothing scary about it. They were a team that went through a stretch of 30 games where they were shutout eight times. What has gone unnoticed is the fact that the Mets have been finding quite a bit of offense lately, and have not been shutout since July 21 in Washington. Their last 17 games shows a team scoring at an above-average clip for any team as the Mets have produced 5.1 runs a game. The Diamondbacks are the lowest-scoring team against lefthand pitching at 3.8 runs per game, but do far better against righthanders where the offense is a full run better at 4.8 per game. It is one of the reasons why they have played 15-7-2 to the OVER in their last 24 against righthand pitching. The Mets’ pitching has been very inconsistent, and after allowing two runs or less, they have played OVER in their next game to a record of 30-14-3. I like this one to go OVER the total.
