New York at Oakland

The New York Mets are just 1.5 games ahead of the Atlanta Braves in the NL East. It is at the point where every game matters. The Mets turn to Chris Bassitt tonight. He has made 28 starts on the season and the Mets are 19-9. Bassitt has been much better than that recently. New York is 9-1 in his last 10 starts. The Mets have won those 10 games by an average of just shy of 3 runs per game. Oakland is 40 games under,500 coming into this game, and they won't have the benefit tonight of facing a team that will lay down sizing up an easy win vs a soft opponent. Bassitt is hot, and this is a big game for the Mets and they will show up. Make the play on the NY Mets.
