The New York Mets are 1.5 games ahead of the Atlanta Braves in the National League East. The Mets have five games against teams they should have success against starting with this weekend's series against the hapless Oakland A’s.
Chris Bassitt has an 8-2 record on the road this year. The Mets have won nine of his last 10 starts. Cole Irvin has improved since coming to the Oakland A's before the 2021 season. He has a 6.28 ERA over his past seven starts, but is having the best year of the career.
Brandon Nimmo is batting .350 in his last six games. Francisco Lindor is hitting .314 during his current eight-game hitting streak. Daniel Vogelbach is also batting well, with a 1.419 OPS over his recent six-games. Tony Kemp has nine hits in the last five games for Oakland.
New York Mets are the superior team with a better offense. The margin of victory in four of New York's last five wins has been by three runs or less. Oakland is 40 games below .500 and has played out the string for most of the summer.
FanDuel Sportsbook has a parlay for the New York Mets at Oakland A’s game. Brandon Nimmo, Francisco Lindor and Chris Bassitt are good bets to score a run. Bassit is a good bet to go at least six innings against Oakland”s anemic lineup.
