In this Diamondbacks vs Mets Prediction, the Mets are coming as -160 home favorites. The Mets saw their four-game winning streak getting snapped and now have to face the leftie Eduardo Rodriguez who has been unhittable this season, having yet to earn a run. The Mets torched him last season though, with 8 earned runs in 4 innings pitched, while Nolan McLean was excellent at home last season for the Mets, with a 0.37 ERA in 4 home starts. On top of that, the Mets have the league’s third-best bullpen to come after him and have a better overall offense and are even better against lefties. Take the Mets on the moneyline in this one.
