New York Mets vs Arizona Diamondbacks Prediction

The Diamondbacks' offense is good, but Severino gave up only one run in his last start, and he’s going to lockdown here. Rodriguez gets the start for the Diamondbacks, and although he was good in his last start, I don’t trust him. The Mets offense is going to find success and that will be enough as the Mets are going to end up on top.  Back the Mets on the money line to cash here. This is a strong play.
