The New York Mets will go against the Arizona Diamondbacks in MLB action at Chase Field, AZ, on Thursday, July 6, 2023, at 9:40 p.m. ET.

The New York Mets must have faith that this season’s second half will result in a significant turnaround. The first half was a huge letdown for a club with one of the biggest payrolls in baseball this season.

The Mets started to play better baseball over the past few days after dropping five of their previous six matches.

It began with two victories in a row to wrap up their home series against the San Francisco Giants, and it continued with an 8-4 victory against the Diamondbacks on July 4 in Arizona.

In the series finale against the Diamondbacks on Thursday night, the Mets will look to veteran righty Carlos Carrasco to maintain their strong play. In 11 starts this year, Carrasco has a 2-3 record, including two solid outings.

He tossed 53 innings and gave up 57 hits with an ERA of 5.94. This year, Carrasco has a 6.6 K/9 rate and a 1.57 WHIP. In six road starts, including one strong start, Carrasco is 1-2.

His ERA is over a run lower at 4.91, and he tossed 29.1 innings while giving up 30 hits. He has a 6.4 K/9 rate and a 1.50 WHIP while on the road.

Carrasco pitched five innings in his first start, giving up five hits and two runs as the Mets fell to the Giants 5-4.

  • The NY Mets are 4-1 SU in their last five matches.
  • The New York Mets are 5-1 SU in their last six matches against Arizona.
  • The NY Mets are 5-11 SU in their last 16 matches on the road.

The Diamondbacks surpassed expectations and maintained their lead in the NL West Division, while the Mets were a significant letdown through the first half of the season.

With the All-Star Break quickly approaching, the Arizona Diamondbacks remain first in the NL West Division.

With the help of a strong one-two punch in the starting rotation and a lineup that rookie MVP contender Corbin Carroll anchors, the squad managed to stave off attacks from both the Giants and Dodgers.

The Diamondbacks, who entered Wednesday night’s game against the Mets having dropped four of their previous six contests, already surpassed 50 victories and aim to increase that number for the second straight season.

In the last contest of the series against the Mets, Arizona will give the ball to righty Ryne Nelson. Nelson has a 4.67 ERA in 17 starts this season and a record of 5-4.

In the Diamondbacks’ rotation, Nelson was the most reliable pitcher behind the team’s top two starters, Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly. With an ERA of 4.67 and 90.2 innings pitched, he gave up 96 hits.

Nelson has a 6.4 K/9 rate and a 1.38 WHIP. Nelson performed substantially worse at home this season, going 2-3 in eight starts with an ERA of 7.09.

His WHIP increases to 1.83 as his K/9 rate lowers to 5.3. He pitched well in his previous three outings, all on the road, surrendering only five runs overall and going at least seven innings in two appearances.

  • The total went UNDER in six of Arizona’s last seven matches.
  • The Arizona Diamondbacks are 2-5 SU in their last seven matches.
  • The Arizona Diamondbacks are 1-5 SU in their last six matches at home.

New York Mets vs. Arizona Diamondbacks. The MLB pick for this game is the New York Mets. The Mets are the team to prefer in this situation because of their recent improvement and favorable money line.

This season, Carrasco performed better on the road. He is up against a Diamondbacks squad that has struggled recently, having dropped four of its previous six games coming into Wednesday night’s game.

Over those six games, the Diamondbacks’ team average is just.212, and they average a little over three runs a contest. This season, D-Backs starter Nelson excelled on the road but had trouble replicating that performance at home.

The worst home WHIP in MLB this year belongs to Nelson. He could not complete the fifth inning in two of his past three home starts, surrendering 24 hits and 13 runs in only 13.2 innings of work.

In this matchup against Nelson, the Mets’ lineup should be able to put up some numbers because it is the healthiest it has been in a while. The New York Mets will win by a predicted score of 6-5.
