Athletics vs Mets Prediction

The Mets are 7-3 in their last 10 meetings against the Athletics but are 1-2 in their last three meetings in New York.

In this Athletics vs Mets Prediction, the Mets are coming as -150 home favorites. The Mets have back-to-back wins where they scored just 3 runs in total, while the A’s have back-to-back wins against the Yankees, shutting them out yesterday. Ginn was torched in his previous start for the A’s while Holmes has been very good so far and while the Mets have a better bullpen, the form of those two teams are hard to ignore. The Athletics also had a far harder schedule so far, having faced the Yankees, Astros, Braves and Blye Jays, while the Mets faced Pirates, Cardinals, Giants and Dbacks. I will take a stab here with the hotter team, so take the A’s on the road for plus money.
