Season Record
Mets: 36-19, 1st place National League East
Padres: 32-21, 2nd place National League West
A National League matchup between the Best in the East division and the 2nd best in the West division. Both teams in this matchup are good and looking to keep it up… However the Mets are not just leading the national League East, but the entire National League. In all of baseball only the American League Yankees are better at this moment. In the NL East the Mets have an 8.5 game lead over last year’s World Series Champs the Atlanta Braves. The Padres on the other hand… are doing very well for the Padres. The Padres are 3 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West, but still are among just 5 National League teams to have over 30 wins. The mission for the Padres is to keep ahead of the Giants and within striking range of the Dodgers.
The New York Mets have won 7 of their last ten games… They got a little smacked around by the Dodgers but a lot of teams do. They are 7 Over and 3 Under during that stretch. They went 1-2 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-0 against the Washington Nationals, 3-0 against the Philadelphia Phillies, and 1-0 against the San Francisco Giants. The batting has been going gangbusters… That is why the Over has landed so many times for this club over the last ten games. The pitching has been coming through as well. Starter Carlos Carrasco leads the team in wins from the mound with 6… while first baseman Pete Alonso has been swatting pitches over the wall to the tally of 16 so far. Everything is going gangbusters so far.
The San Diego Padres have won just 5 of their last 10 games. With 3 Overs, 5 Unders, and 2 Push. The Padres started the season strong and have swooned a little over the last two weeks. It is unfortunate that the Mets are the team they will have to face at exactly this important moment. The Padres pitchers are carrying their weight for sure… to stay on pace though they will need some better batting. Manny Machado leads the team in home runs, batting average, and OPS while Fernando Tatis Jr has been out with a wrist injury and will be out until mid-June. The Padres are on a 3-game winning streak going 3-1 against the Milwaukee Brewers, 0-3 against the St Louis Cardinals, and 2-1 against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
