New York Mets vs. Athletics Prediction
I’m on the Mets here. The main reason why I was on the Athletics on Saturday, was because they were facing a left-handed starter in David Peterson, but now, they have to face a righty and potentially the staff ace in Kodai Senga, and I think Senga can shut down the Athletics here. I think the Mets get to Severino here, as Severino’s not in great form right now after getting lit up in his last couple of outings. Give me the Mets here.
