Arizona Diamondbacks vs New York Mets Prediction
The Mets are going to get the benefit of the doubt at home as they’re arguably the best team in baseball, and Senga has been great in 28.2 innings. Senga has allowed 21 hits and four earned runs this season. However, you’re getting plus money with Gallen on the mound, an all-star caliber pitcher who is far better than what he’s shown through 32.1 innings. It’s only a matter of time before Gallen gets his act together, and I still see value with him in the plus money role. Gallen has also held current Mets to a .227 batting average in 21 strikeouts in 88 at-bats. I’ll take a stab with the Diamondbacks and the more favorable price.
