New York Mets vs. Athletics Prediction
I’m looking at the over here. I think the Mets can get to JP Sears here, as Sears hasn’t gotten off to the strongest of starts to the year, while the Athletics have a strong history of beating up on Griffin Canning from Canning’s previous time with the Los Angeles Angels. I think this is going to be a surprisingly high-scoring game, so give me the over in this one.
