New York Mets Recap

The New York Mets will try to win the series after taking out the Padres on Saturday by a final score of 7-1. The worst the Mets can do in this series is settle for a split, which keeps their unbeaten run alive in series after taking out the Orioles and Marlins over the last week.

Pete Alonso has 27 home runs and 71 RBIs with 29 doubles and Francisco Lindor has 34 doubles of his own with 27 home runs and 78 RBIs along with 25 stolen bases. Brandon Nimmo has 72 RBIs and 133 strikeouts while Lindor has a team-high 143 hits and Harrison Bader has 15 stolen bases as well this season.

Why the New York Mets will win

San Diego Padres Recap

The San Diego Padres will try to bounce back and earn the split in the series after falling flat in Saturday’s matchup. A split would be a nice result to build on their series win over the Minnesota Twins from earlier in the week.

San Diego Padres vs NY Mets Prediction

I’m on the Padres here. The Padres have rarely dropped back-to-back Games over the course of the second half of the season, and they’re still one of the hottest teams in baseball since the all-star break. The Mets have been playing well in their own right, but I just think this is a spot for the Padres to rebound. Martin Perez has started to find his Game again since being acquired by the Padres, and we’ve started to see regression creep up on Jose Quintana. I think the Padres earn the split. Give me San Diego.
