Pick

The Rays were able to win Game 1 of this series as an underdog and they will look to continue their great start to the season here. New York has been disappointing so far this year and they are sitting near the bottom in the NL East. The Mets will start Kodai Senga, who has allowed seven earned runs over his last 16.0 innings pitched. The Rays have not announced a starting pitcher for this game yet, but it seems like it doesn’t matter at this point. The Rays are rolling this season and I can’t pick against them, especially with how poorly the Mets have played.
