NY Mets vs San Diego Padres Prediction

You can make a case for the San Diego Padres with Dylan Cease on the mound, a pitcher who is missing bats at an elite level and can get you close to the finish line. However, the Mets have won 4 straight Games and are inching closer toward a .500 record, which could encourage them to not sell come the trade deadline. These are big weeks coming up for the Mets. Tylor Megill has been respectable this season and has been even better at home in a small sample size. Near pick em prices, I’ll ride the hot Mets at home.
