The San Diego Padres will head up to Queens to start a three-game set with the New York Mets this Monday from Citi Field. San Diego won four of the last six meetings last season.
Padres Betting Preview
San Diego is 6-4 after defeating Atlanta on Sunday. The Padres scored in five straight innings to avoid the sweep and defeat the Braves by eight, 10-2. The San Diego offense is scoring 4.37 runs per game, while batting .242, with a .327 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 4.22 ERA, with a 1.39 WHIP. Xander Bogaerts has made an immediate impact, and he leads the team in batting average (.324) and RBI (8). Veteran Nelson Cruz turned back the clock versus Atlanta and led the Pads to victory last night with six RBI.
Yu Darvish (0-0, 1.80 ERA, 3 K) slated to start for San Diego. The 5x All-Star was solid in his season debut versus Arizona last week, only allowing one run over five innings pitched. Darvish did walk four batters, and he’ll look to clean things up in front of a rowdy Citi Field crowd.
Mets Betting Preview
New York moved to 5-5 following a loss to Miami. The Mets trailed the Marlins early, and after failing to recover they’d lose by five, 7-2. The New York offense is scoring 4.37 runs per game, while batting .216, with a .325 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 4.81 ERA, with a 1.44 WHIP. Pete Alonso is producing at a high rate already this season, homering four times last week, and leading the Mets with 10 RBI. Starling Marte brings a five-game hit streak into this series, and he leads the team in batting average (.306)
Max Scherzer (1-1, 6.35 ERA, 8 Ks) will take the bump for Colorado. The 3x Cy Young winner will look to shake back from a rough outing in Milwaukee that saw him give up three straight homers. This spot will mark Mad Max’s first home start of the season, and he was exceptional in Queens last season, going 4-2 with a 1.67 ERA in ten starts.
San Diego vs New York Trends
San Diego is 6-4 against the spread this season, with a 6-4 over/under record. New York is 6-4 ATS this year, with a 6-4 O/U record.
Corey's Free Pick
Two studs will face off on the mound this Monday in Queens, and while we may be in for a pitcher’s duel, I like trusting a bounce back effort from the hosts here. Max Scherzer had one of the worst outings of his career in Miami last week, and a return to Citi Field should do wonders for the HOF pitcher. If Mad Max receives the run support, the Mets should be able to take game one.
