Mets vs. Angels Picks
Money Line Pick for Mets vs. Angels
- New York Mets ML (4 Units)
The Mets have the edge in this game because they’re playing well offensively despite their slump, scoring 18 runs in their last four games. They’ve done well against right-handers, and they’re facing Kochanowicz, who has been shaky on the mound in recent starts, giving up seven runs in his last three starts, so expect them to play well offensively in this game.
The Angels will have a hard time keeping up offensively because they struggled in recent games, scoring seven runs in their last three games. They haven’t been as good against right-handers, and they’re facing Holmes, who has done well on the mound, giving up only five runs in his last five starts, so expect him to keep their offense in check. Take New York on the money line.
Over/Under for Mets vs. Angels
- Under (4 Units)
The Mets average 3.44 runs per game. They’re batting .231 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up one run in his two home starts. The Angels average 4.64 runs per game. They’re batting .228 against right-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up four runs in three road starts. Don’t expect these teams to score enough runs to push the score over the total. The Angels and Mets played under the total in two of their last three meetings.
