New York at Oakland

Over the course of 162 game season all good teams are going to face great streaks, and other times bad turns. The Oakland A's are down right now, and on a five game losing streak, as well as having lost seven of their last eight. The strong pitching has gone south, as the A's have allowed 3 runs or more in each of their last 10 games. When you couple that with an offense that is also struggling, having scored 3 runs or less in seven of their last eight, wins become hard to come by. They may regret dealing Yoenis Cespedes as they have hit just .224 as a team since his departure, and are averaging just 3.7 runs per game. Scott Kazmir may be hitting the wall as he is 1-2 with a 5.79 ERA in the month of August. He is nine innings away from pitching more innings than he has since 2007. The Mets have taken five of their last six in interleague play on the road vs. a winning team, and own a 7-3 mark in Gee's last 10 road starts. The mets are also 7-2 in their last nine against the A's catching them at the right time. Back the Mets.
