New York Mets vs. Athletics Prediction

I’m going to take a shot on the Athletics in this one. I get why the Mets would be favored here as New York has been playing very well as of late. However, the Mets sending out David Peterson here means they’re sending out a left-handed pitcher, and the Athletics have crushed left-handed pitching in a small sample size so far this season. The Athletics have a young roster with a lot of pop in those bats, and I think the Athletics can get to Peterson early and I think the Athletics can ride out the later innings to get the win on the road to even up the series here. Give me the Athletics in this one.
