San Diego Padres vs NY Mets Prediction

As Ive said all series, I’m focused on the plus money in this matchup. We’ve been on the San Diego Padres a lot in the second half, and they’re playing great, but the Mets are hot offensively and have equally the same thing to play for as the Padres. Whatever team was getting the more favorable price is the side I’m going to be on. It also doesn’t hurt that David Peterson has been great this year, with a 3.00 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. Give me the Mets and the plus money.
