Arizona Diamondbacks vs. New York Mets Analysis

Zac Gallen will throw for the Arizona Diamondbacks in this game. Gallen is one of the candidates for the National League Cy Young. He is 15-7 on the season, with a 3.31 earned run average. Gallen is five strikeouts away from 200 on the season in 187.2 innings. His last start against the Cubs was a shut-out, where he allowed just three hits while striking out nine batters.

The Diamondbacks, despite being in the postseason race, are -17 in run differential on the season. Arizona recently had a four-game winning streak going, but since then have lost two of their last three MLB games.

Looking at the MLB player stats, Corbin Carroll is the likely National League Rookie of the Year. He is hitting .279 to lead the way for Arizona. Christian Walker is providing the power, as he has 30 home runs and is nine runs batted in away from 100.

Arizona will wrap up their series in New York on Thursday before hosting the Cubs for a huge three-game series over the weekend, and the Giants for two before going to the Yankees and White Sox.

From Debut to Dominance

For the New York Mets, Joey Lucchesi is expected to get the start. The 30-year-old has not pitched since August 18th in St. Louis. In that game, he moved to 2-0 with a 3.54. That was his fifth start of the season. He lasted 5.2 innings and allowed just four hits and no runs in the win. Lucchesi is a lefthander who made his Major League Baseball debut back in 2018.

In the win on Tuesday, Pete Alonso clubbed his 44th home run of the season, and Ronny Mauricio came away with his first career Major League hit. The Mets are 20th in runs scored and 25th in team batting average, in a season Buck Showalter and the Mets know have been a complete disappointment.

New York Mets games from here on out will look to play the role of spoiler. They have these two games, then three with the Reds, before their final 13 games are against the Marlins and Phillies.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. New York Mets Betting Picks

This game is going to belong to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Zac Gallen’s pitching is enough for that to ring true. In one of his final starts before the end of the season, he wants to ensure his numbers line up for a possible Cy Young award.

Our Diamondbacks vs Mets betting picks, Gallen throws well, and the Arizona offense gets just enough production. Take Arizona -142 over the Mets.
