Cleveland Guardians at New York Mets Betting Pick

The Cleveland Guardians will travel to New York on Sunday for their second game of a three-game series against the New York Mets. The Guardians and Mets have both been playing below-average baseball for their standard this season, as the Guardians come in four games below .500, and the Mets come in at just .500.

During the first game of this three-game set, the Mets ended up walking away with a 10-9 win as they scored three runs in the bottom of the 10th for another walk-off win.

Despite the .500 start for the Mets, they’re starting to figure things out in the past few weeks as they’ve had some huge wins. That could be what this team needs, and it’s going to be interesting to see if that stays true in game 2. The Mets come into this one at -155 on the moneyline.

Can New York Win This Series?

When looking at what the New York Mets have done this season, it’s easy to see why people are still high on this team. Although they haven’t played well at all this season, they’re still just 5.5 games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves and are 23-23. They ended up winning a series against the Tampa Bay Rays and have a chance to win another one on Sunday with a win against this tough Guardians team.

Winning back-to-back series against those two teams could put the Mets in a very good position, especially after what they were able to do against the Rays. The Rays are arguably the best team in baseball this season, so this should build some confidence as they take on the Guardians.

The one thing to watch out for here is who’s going to be on the mound for the Mets. It’s expected that Max Scherzer is going to get the ball, and that should be good news for New York. Despite a somewhat disappointing start for his season this year with injuries and not pitching too well, they’re still one of the top arms in baseball and should be able to find a way to stop this Guardians lineup.

Can Cleveland Bounce Back?

The Cleveland Guardians have had one of the more disappointing seasons in baseball this season, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t turn it around as well. The Guardians play in arguably the worst division in baseball, and although they’re 20-24, they’re only four games behind the first-place Minnesota Twins.

However, they haven’t played well throughout their last ten games, only winning four of those. This could be a sign that they’re going to struggle against the Mets on Sunday, but this team’s offense has more than enough to get the job done with some of their elite hitters in their lineup.
