Mets vs. Diamondbacks Prediction

I’m on the Diamondbacks here. The Diamondbacks are the hottest team in baseball since the all-star break and I think the potential of being within arms’ reach of the mighty Dodgers has given this team some extra motivation to push for the division title. On the other side, the Mets are fighting to get into the playoff field, but I just think that they’re too inconsistent for me to back to step in front of the Diamondbacks which isn’t something I’m really interested in doing to begin with. Give me Arizona at home in this one.
