Athletics vs Mets Prediction 

New York comes into this matchup on a three game losing streak and they have been outscored 18-3 during that span. The Mets are 3-4 at home this year, while the A’s are 4-6 on the road. The Athletics have won three games in a row and they have allowed two total runs during that streak. The A’s are starting Lopez, who has allowed six earned runs and nine hits over 8.1 innings, so I expect a bounce back from the Mets here. Take New York -1.5 in this one.
