Oakland at New York

The New York Mets are just one game behind the Atlanta Braves in the NL West. A sizzling 27-11 mark has salvaged the Mets season over a 38-game period. The bad news for the Mets is that they are otherwise just 34-46. They must be disappointed as the Mariners swept three games in the final leg of their most recent road trip. The Mets are nothing special at home, where they are just two games over .500 for the season. The Athletics are growing in confidence as this team is a woeful 50-69 overall, but in their last 19 games, they are 12-7 and playing their best baseball of the season. The Mets had a day off after being on the West Coast, and after three losses, their mental mindset is not the same. Make the play on Oakland.
